Tried to emerge alsa-driver-1.0.6a with 2.6.7-gentoo-r11 kernel... got compilation error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

can you try to disable distcc
what I mean by that is to remove it from features rather than force -j1 ... just to be sure... is isapnp enabled in your kernel?
Same problem with distcc removed from FEATURES. My kernel is compiled with no PnP support, so no isapnp either.
try enabling it in your kernel
Resolved: I had ISA enabled in the kernel, but did not enable ISA PnP. The ebuild should probably check for this, but no biggie.
