The reporter misunderstood what I told him on IRC. (He thought I meant that were was a patch to fix the problem, but what I said was that the code causing the compiler error was added by a Gentoo patch.) More specifically, 4400_alpha-sysctl-uac.patch. This might apply to other kernel versions as well.

It's the lines like this that cause the compilation error, and they weren't changed in the new patch: + .ctl_name = CTL_UNNUMBERED,
patch removed from genpatches
