Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

This bug is being reported because this ebuild is currently trying to build against the kernel tree by accessing it through /lib/modules/`uname -r` instead than through /usr/src/linux like it should.

This is bad in many situations, like:

- livecd installs: the running kernel is the one from the livecd and is most
likely not the same the user is installing to;
- livecd chroot fixes: as above;
- generic chroot: running kernel comes from outside, as above;
- kernel updates: users most likely would want their system to have all the
modules ready _before_ restarting.

Please fix your ebuild to use /usr/src/linux.

Thanks,
Diego

Makefile now uses /usr/src/linux.
