Created attachment 528242 [details] emerge --info This could be a problem of having too new of a gcc, sys-devel/gcc-7.3.0-r1, but while doing some build testing against a modified kernel-2.eclass, I discovered these two versions of linux-headers do not build due to the same error, so I restored the original contents of kernel-2.eclass and tried again, same failure.

I think it's a problem of linux kernel unifying a kernel a while ago from i386/x86_64 to x86 and eclass forgot about it: make -s mrproper ARCH=x86 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu- Makefile:261: arch/x86/Makefile: No such file or directory This should be make -s mrproper ARCH=x64_64 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-
Namely most of 2.4 support was broken by the following change: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=81c226e451be564a545696f93fc5880ebc160812

Not that many arches are left supporting these headers. All of them should work fine on hewer kernels and toolchains.
