possibly related to: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/eclass/kernel-2.eclass?id=aa4f1706fe35d8e49c69f3cd1c1caf66f3a0714d
re-adding the explicit symlink removal to kernel-2.eclass fixes the problem: [[ -h ${EROOT%/}/usr/src/linux ]] && { rm "${EROOT%/}"/usr/src/linux || die; } but why does the ln --force fail?
BTW: should the use of EROOT not always be surrounded by quotes?
I think the problem is that linux is a folder. Thus, the call of ln should add the --no-dereference option to correctly update existing symlinks.
(In reply to Till Schäfer from comment #5) > I think the problem is that linux is a folder. Thus, the call of ln should > add the --no-dereference option to correctly update existing symlinks. Just to note: currently this leads to a symlink created inside /usr/src/linux/ Example: $ file /usr/src/linux-5.12.7-gentoo/linux-5.12.9-gentoo /usr/src/linux-5.12.7-gentoo/linux-5.12.9-gentoo: broken symbolic link to linux-5.12.9-gentoo

You are indeed correct. Not sure why this wasn't picked up in testing.. (!!) Thanks for the PR. pp. kernel@
