When I try to emerge any ebuild, that checks where the current kernel source is, emerge don't responds anymore. I allready tried some older kernels - it did not help. (i can only reproduce this on one of my gentoo boxes) (tried with nvidia-kernel-{1.0.6111-r3,1.0.6629-r1} and xorg-x11-6.8.1.901) Your help is greatly appreciated.

I saw slarti` having the same problem some time ago. He found the problem .. he was using a make wrapper that broke with "make -f - e" Could you be using anything like that by chance? slarti: maybe you could help here as you fixed this bug already?
Thanks! Some time ago i installed the make wrapper 'pretty_make.py'. Removing it fixed the problem :)
