gspcav1 fails to merge on amd64 arch because of the wrong (or no) arch name conversion. amd64 is called x86_64 in the kernel. When you fix it, please unmask it as it works perfecty on my core2 duo (amd64 arch). (I've tricked the ebuild by creating a amd64->x86_64 symlink). >>> Emerging (1 of 1) media-video/gspcav1-20070110 to / * gspcav1-20070110.tar.gz MD5 ;-) ...

Try it with sys-kernel/gentoo-sources (I am using sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r1 with no problem). Also, update you system: emerge --sync emerge -avuDN world revdep-rebuild dispatch-conf Good luck!
/usr/src/linux symlink doesn't match running kernel
You need to have you kernel sources configured and match the running kernel. _Or_ You're running some funky kernel sources(I can't tell from your emerge --info output) and it's lacking amd64 support somehow. Try gentoo-sources. If you've verified both of these arn't true, please reopen the bug and we'll look deeper.
