Description nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

I'm doing a fresh install of 2006.1 on my x86 laptop. I made it to the kernel config step, and though emerging gentoo-sources went well (2.6.18-r4, stabilized just in time), there seems to be some weird leftover cruft. Here's the output from make menuconfig:

Doesn't seem to be fatal so far, but it's not encouraging, and just looks bad to boot. No real point in posting emerge info, is there, since I'm still installing? :)

Harmless, just ignore them
