sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel does not have direct or indirect depenency on dev-lang/perl. But it can run some perl scripts while building. If perl is not yet installed in the system, emerge gentoo-kernel will not install it before building of the gentoo-kernel package and it could fail. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Example of emerge on system not having perl installed yet and emerge not installing it while emerging gentoo-kernel: 163dea883cd6 / # which perl which: no perl in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin) 163dea883cd6 / # emerge -vpk gentoo-kernel !!! /etc/portage/binrepos.conf is missing (or PORTAGE_BINHOST is unset), but use is requested. !!! /etc/portage/binrepos.conf is missing (or PORTAGE_BINHOST is unset), but use is requested. These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! Dependency resolution took 0.80 s (backtrack: 0/20).

Please can you post a full build.log and the output of emerge --info
Created attachment 891309 [details] build log
"emerge --info" is there in the original message. Is there reason for the full kernel build log? I provided a part where it clearly failed while trying to use perl. But anyway, attached the log too.
