In 1.5.9 we've modified the ebuild to do the benchmarking automatically if the data's not present. We've only forgotten to remove this msg. In 1.5.10 this is modified again, because this didn't fit with the policies. So in 1.5.10 pkg_config() exists again and works.
given that the site has been shut down no point in keeping this package.
