This looks suspiciously like bug #285376 in that neither can find the right file:  asm/bitsperlong.h  The correct location for the file is:
/lib/modules/`uname --kernel-release`/build/include/asm-generic/bitsperlong.h

The other bug tries to find it in /asm/ instead of /asm-generic/ too.

Please include emerge --info sys-apps/lm_sensors

Comment 2 Petr Zima 2009-11-26 10:25:58 UTC

Looks much like duplicate of bug #282261.
