Due to expat's update, I need to rebuild mesa against the new libexpat. But when I emerge mesa, the merging process stops because it doesen't detect the KERNEL_ARCH. I tried with mesa-6.5.2-r1 and mesa-7.0.1 with the same results. I have read the ebuilds. Supposedly (for 6.5.2-r1), line 94 sets the $CONFIG variable as "linux-dri-x86". But then, as you'll see in the output, apparently that variable is null, because the src_unpack fails to echo configure variables to the file, as shown in output. Please, help me out. I'm sick and tired of this. This is the first bug I report. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge mesa 2. 3.

If CONFIG is null, it sounds like a portage bug where it wasn't saving variables between phases. Is this still an issue?
I don't know why, but this no longer happens. When I came up with all this mess a few months ago I got fed up and didn't update gentoo at all for six months. Last february I ran a whole update and this package was no longer an issue. Maybe you can close this bug.
Guessing it's fixed by your newer portage version. Thanks for filing the bug, although I wasn't able to make any progress on it earlier.
