Can post more details if required. Am on x86, but I don't think that's relevant.

Looks like this message comes from sshd itself. See line 1669 of sshd.c:

dan@gordo:~/.gentoo/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/openssh-5.5_p1-r2/work/openssh-5.5p1$ grep -FC7 "must be owned" sshd.c 
#ifdef HAVE_CYGWIN
		if (check_ntsec(_PATH_PRIVSEP_CHROOT_DIR) &&
		    (st.st_uid != getuid () ||
		    (st.st_mode & (S_IWGRP|S_IWOTH)) != 0))
#else
		if (st.st_uid != 0 || (st.st_mode & (S_IWGRP|S_IWOTH)) != 0)
#endif
			fatal("%s must be owned by root and not group or "
			    "world-writable.", _PATH_PRIVSEP_CHROOT_DIR);
	}

	if (test_flag > 1) {
		if (test_user != NULL && test_addr != NULL && test_host != NULL)
			parse_server_match_config(&options, test_user,
			    test_host, test_addr);

hmmm, yeah, but it is questionable if these tests can run when being non-root, isn't it?

[Comment 3 Dan Wallis 2010-08-31 21:56:51 UTC]

I thought that (on regular Gentoo at least) with FEATURES=userpriv, configure & compilation & tests are run as portage:portage. But it makes sense that FEATURES=userpriv not be supported in prefix.

Unfortunately I don't have a regular Gentoo box at hand just now to check which user runs these tests over there. Perhaps prefix should have RESTRICT=test for this ebuild.

I just disabled the tests for prefix, thanks
