[Comment 2 Elliot Chandler 2017-01-08 20:58:27 UTC]

The problem is that the filename chosen to unpack is libnes-1.1.4-0.src.rpm, while the real file name is libnes-1.1.4-0..src.rpm (note the extra dot).

The problem can be worked around by specifying src_unpack in the ebuild as follows:

src_unpack() {
    unpack ${A}
    rpm_unpack "./OFED-${OFED_VER}-rc${OFED_RC_VER}/SRPMS/${MY_PN}-${MY_PV}-${OFED_SUFFIX}..src.rpm"
    unpack "./${P}.tar.gz"
}

(a copy of the resulting ebuild is attached).
