Description acidrums4 2022-07-31 12:53:31 UTC
Since >=sys-kernel/pf-sources-5.18-p4, the 'symlink' USE flag is not working; i.e. the symlink /usr/src/linux broke and no longer points to the latest version of sys-kernel/pf-sources installed.

I don't recall anything changing in the eclass here.

It's more about how upstream changed recently, they now package the full source code in a tarball (previously they just offered a .patch that was applied to vanilla sources) so I have to "hack around" the eclass to get it to work. 

Thanks for the report!

Nope, of course thanks to you for the quick fix. Best regards
