Hi!

Here is a function linux_config_src_exists from linux-info.eclass:
linux_config_src_exists() {
 export _LINUX_CONFIG_EXISTS_DONE=1
 [ -s "${KV_OUT_DIR}/.config" ]
}

When KV_OUT_DIR var is undefined, existence of /.config is checked. 
I think it is wrong behavior. Some programs wrongly create .config folder in / instead of user's home directory. For example, I have Trolltech.conf inside it.

I propose to make small change: if KV_OUT_DIR is undefined return false. I think it is the right behavior because when KV_OUT_DIR is undefined then directory with kernel sources wasn't founded.

Best,
Alexander Bersenev
