PS. OS Headers are 2.6.13 now, despite system is still running on 2.6.11. Both tested kernels are unpatched kernel.org ones.
Problem resolved, sorry for not knowing emerge info. Headers known to portage was too old: virtual/os-headers: 2.4.22 but manually installed are 2.6 and util-linux as one of probably few packages needed headers version to configure properly.
