go into the build dir: /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/ntp-4.2.6_p5-r2/work/ntp-4.2.6p5/ntpd4.2.6p5/ntpd and attach the files: ../scripts/mkver ../version then run by hand and see if it fails: env CSET=`cat ../version` ../scripts/mkver ntpd

Oh oh... not sure what's going on exactly, but the text in ../version comes from one of my own personal scripts (called 'bk' and in global path), so this is probably all my fault
Not sure why it would be picking it up, though... the script is in /usr/local/bin, and portage's PATH is /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin
"bk" is the short name for "bitkeeper" which ntp supports i'd suggest you tweak your local bk to exit(1) when given invalid args as that'll should cause the ntp logic to skip it
I just renamed my 'bk' script, haven't used it for years anyway. Arguably the makefile ought to check that bk really is bitkeeper. Anyway, thanks for the help with diagnosing.
To confirm: it does now merge cleanly.
