I ran "make install" in the kernel sources of sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.39-r2 and found these lines at the end of the output: INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/R100_cp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/R200_cp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/R300_cp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/R420_cp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RS690_cp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RS600_cp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/R520_cp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/R600_pfp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/R600_me.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV610_pfp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV610_me.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV630_pfp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV630_me.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV620_pfp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV620_me.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV635_pfp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV635_me.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV670_pfp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV670_me.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RS780_pfp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RS780_me.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV770_pfp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV770_me.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV730_pfp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV730_me.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV710_pfp.bin INSTALL /lib/firmware/radeon/RV710_me.bin This does not seem correct, as there is a separate firmware_install target, and it messes up "q file -o `find /lib/firmware`", too.

make firmware_install installs all the in-kernel-tree firmware. Those firmware blobs come from an ebuild and considered to be outside the kernel and is not affected my make firmware_install
(In reply to comment #6) > make firmware_install installs all the in-kernel-tree firmware. > > Those firmware blobs come from an ebuild and considered to be outside the > kernel and is not affected my make firmware_install I do not run "make firmware_install". I stopped doing that since bug #368463. If the firmware blobs being installed by make install are not part of the kernel, where do they come from and why does the kernel buildsystem install them here? If I misunderstood you, please clarify.
Maybe they can help you upstream at http://bugzilla.kernel.org
Forwarded bug to upstream tracker.
