Andrew Morton sez, "Just delete that line." 
(drivers/media/video/videodev.c:398).

WONTFIX, this isn't really an official release which we support [ pfeifer ]. Fix is here for anybody who wants it.

Patch to ebuild:
----------------

add:

sed '398d' drivers/media/video/videodev.c > temp
mv temp drivers/media/video/videodev.c

after: 

bzcat ${DISTDIR}/${KV}.bz2 | patch -p1 || die "mm patch failed"

[ Or just remove the line manually ]
