marinez and I have talked about this in #gentoo and I must note that while the compile problem this was causing is indeed related to using nitro sources, the *actual problem at hand* is not. lirc still uses linux-`uname -r` in some m4 files (it appears the sed hack in the ebuild does not work well, as marinez has said) instead of the proper $KV_DIR. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot a kernel such as 2.6.12-nitro5 2. link your /usr/src/linux to something like 2.6.13-gentoo 3. emerge lirc Actual Results: emerge lirc fails -- and you'll notice it's still building in the nitro environment Expected Results: successful build Suggested fix: add --with-kerneldir=${KV_DIR} to the econf line.

I would agree that this should be done. In my case, trying to update a kernel (gentoo-sources) on a mythtv box, I'd also like to be able to update lirc without requiring a reboot beforehand. If I try to do this, I see an error about requiring kernel sources to be installed. If I add --with-kerneldir to the econf, lirc compiles.
Should be fixed in 0.8_pre3, reopen if it's not.
