All, I just attempted to build emerge stable speakup and got the output I am attaching. I use KBUILD_OUTPUT, and it was set to /home/william/linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6 which is my build directory, and it is set up correctly, because I was able to build speakup from the upstream git repository correctly.
Created attachment 211911 [details] emerge-speakup.txt Here is my emerge output.
Created attachment 211913 [details] emerge-info.txt and my emerge --info.
Please retest with the latest versions of the ebuilds, and make very sure that the portage user has read access to your homedir location of $KBUILD_OUTPUT, because I think you might have locked it out, hence the output of: /bin/sh: line 0: cd: /home/william/linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6: Not a directory

I fixed the permissions on $KBUILD_OUTPUT and that solved the issue.
