Odd that make mrproper has issues of version.h isn't there. I'll look into it
looks like the offending line is: drivers/char/speakup/Makefile:5:V := $(shell awk '/UTS_RELEASE/ {print substr($$3,2,3)}' $(TOPDIR)/include/linux/version.h) The patch which adds this line changed between gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r1 and gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r2, but it looks to have been broken before then, also. The bug seems tickled by the fact that config-kernel assumes that any output on stderr from `make mrproper` implies a critical failure.
Created attachment 35127 [details, diff] modifies Makefile to actually check for version.h before running awk Someone with better understanding of the kernel build process will want to make sure that this doesn't create more problems than it fixes.
encountered error 77 when emerging gentoo-dev-sources from 2-6-7 r11 in livecd Universal. Is this the same problem?

The version of the kernel that i used when reporting this bug is 'old' now but it frequently happens that the version.h is missing on recent kernels 2.6.9-r3 for example. Is this because kernel dev-sources are released too quickly ?
version.h is created during the compile of the kernel LOL after you finish compiling you should have a version.h I have yet to see a release that hasn't worked this way. Please build the kernel then report back on weather your still missing a header for the version.
re #7, i can't compile the kernel because the first step, the setup, fails when running a command like this: config-kernel --make-koutput=/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-gentoo-r8 The patch in the kernel Makefile suggested in #3 needs to be "merged into the main branch", who can do this ?
I get the same error when running make mrproper...this is including a source tree that had previously been built (2.6.7-gentoo-r6), and the newest on my system (2.6.9-gentoo-r1).
Addendum to #9: This was all encountered when I ran into an error installing the nvidia-kernel package, and through this found a work-around that fixed this error. Running 'make prepare-all' in the source tree fixed the errors.
I had the same problem but what I found was: I used to like symlinking a couple directories in /usr/include to link with the current kernel source tree in the proper locations. This was the way things used to swing but at some point this became a bad idea. Things were changed around and now adays you see packages like linux-headers and linux26-headers. This scheme doesn't sit well with me but apparently, this is the way it is. Check to see if you have the proper headers package merged (linux-headers for 2.4.x and linux26-headers for 2.6.x). Remerge it for good measure as something might have disappeared. When I was missing version.h, I checked and found that I had the old 2.4.x headers from my initial install months ago. I did some reading and changed things over to linux26-headers and everything was well again. Give it a try and see what happens (won't hurt things, at least).
config-kernel is deprecated and done with. Marking this WONTFIX.
