Can you please send me the output of "emerge --info", as well as the output of "ls -l /usr/src/2.4.19-vanilla/".
pcmcia-3.2.1-r4 has been fixed to work with FEATURES="userpriv" enabled. rsync and try re-emerging. Next check for presence of /usr/src/linux/kernel/Makefile to see about the error about missing or incomplete kernel tree.

Besides, the permission problem vanished.
the permissions on that could definitely be affecting this. Try doing something like "chmod -R a+r /usr/src/linux" to add the read bit to everything in your kernel tree.
Works. Thanks. (Though it's a pity pcmcia needs access to the kernel tree)
worky
