Do you have a symbolic link /usr/src/linux which points to /usr/src/linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r1 ?
Yes, pointing to the 2.6.16 kernel headers
The error message you are getting says that the .config file you used to build your kernel is not being found. Your kernel config needs to be available at /usr/src/linux/.config so please check that it really is there. By the way, when you said "pointing to the kernel headers", does that mean your /usr/src/linux points to the include dir of the kernel source, e.g. /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r9/include If so, it needs point to the base of the kernel source, not just the headers: /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r9
Sorry, when i said the headers, i meant the base of the kernel (/usr/src/linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r1) The .config is in /usr/src/linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r1/.config (and the symlink to /usr/src/linux is correct) and i don't see any var that defines $KERNEL_ARCH Thanks
I think this is caused by the merge of ppc and powerpc arches that happened in the 2.6.16 sources. Perhaps `ARCH="powerpc" emerge klibc` would do the trick.
There's a check in the klibc ebuild that makes sure that the kernel arch is the same as the guessed arch. Unfortunately, with kernels 2.6.16 and up, this is no longer true since we now use ARCH="powerpc" instead of ARCH="ppc". Ignoring the mismatch does seem to work, but I'm not sure if that's the correct workaround. klibc maintainers?

I'm having the same trouble here it seems (Pegasos II PPC) : * Your kernel sources are not configured for your chosen arch! * (KERNEL_ARCH="", ARCH="ppc") But I don't see any "KERNEL_ARCH" or "ARCH" in my .config file :-( I've tried a 'ARCH="powerpc" KERNEL_ARCH="powerpc" emerge klibc' and it does not work :-( Note : in /usr/src I have a "linux" link on "linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1". I also have a "linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r5" which seems unused. My .config file is in the linux one. Regards.
Created attachment 88233 [details, diff] Patch for klibc-1.2.1-r1.ebuild Hiya, This patch adds an s/powerpc/ppc to the KERNEL_ARCH detector to match the same substitution that was already being done in the ARCH detector, allowing comparisons of the two two match, which seems to fix this bug. Best, Ron
I marked klibc-1.2.1-r1 stable on ppc.
The same thing happens with the 1.4.8 and 1.4.8 ebuilds. The patch has to be applied manually.
Added patch to klibc-1.2.1-r2 and klibc-1.4.9.
