media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.5a fails to find kernel source tree during its ./configure phase.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge alsa-driver
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
checking for current directory...
/var/tmp/portage/alsa-driver-1.0.5a/work/alsa-driver-1.0.5a
checking cross compile... 
checking for directory with kernel source...
/var/tmp/portage/alsa-driver-1.0.5a/temp/linux
checking for kernel version... The file
/var/tmp/portage/alsa-driver-1.0.5a/temp/linux/include/linux/version.h does not
exist.
Please, install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution
or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel
sources (default is /usr/src/linux).

your kernel in /usr/src/linux is not configured.
