Here is what happens when trying to build a kernel with any version of genkernel. It simply fails at the point of the initramfs. Here is the error below. I can't be sure but a guess here is that the new glibc-2.13 could be the culprit. I have tried several versions of genkernel, all fail, I have also tried both 2.6.36 and 2.6.37 kernels and both fail. libbb/lib.a(xconnect.o): In function `str2sockaddr': xconnect.c:(.text.str2sockaddr+0x100): warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking libbb/lib.a(inet_common.o): In function `INET_rresolve': inet_common.c:(.text.INET_rresolve+0xbd): warning: Using 'gethostbyaddr' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking util-linux/lib.a(mount.o): In function `nfsmount': mount.c:(.text.nfsmount+0xd8): warning: Using 'gethostbyname' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking libbb/lib.a(xconnect.o): In function `bb_lookup_port': xconnect.c:(.text.bb_lookup_port+0x41): warning: Using 'getservbyname' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/../../../../lib64/libc.a(memmove_chk.o): In function `__memmove_chk': (.text+0x1b4): undefined reference to `__memmove_chk_ssse3_back' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/../../../../lib64/libc.a(memmove_chk.o): In function `__memmove_chk': (.text+0x1b9): undefined reference to `__memmove_chk_ssse3' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [busybox_unstripped] Error 1 * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 3.4.12.6 * Running with options: --splash=natural_gentoo initramfs * ERROR: Failed to compile the "all" target... * -- End log... -- * Please consult /var/log/genkernel.log for more information and any * errors that were reported above. * Report any genkernel bugs to bugs.gentoo.org and * assign your bug to genkernel@gentoo.org.

I believe this is related to busybox not compiling (or working) with new glibc
You forgot to attach genkernel.log?
Created attachment 261887 [details] Genkernel log
Okay, I have downgraded glibc on my box and the problem is solved. There is no doubt that this problem occurs because of the busybox problem with glibc-2.13, I am leaving this bug open because although it is not a genkernel problem, all ~arch users who upgrade to glibc-2.13 will be hit with this.
I "fixed" my problem by applying a patch from bug 353816 for Glibc 2.13, then emerging Busybox and then finally compiling my kernel. See my notes in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353816#c19 Cheers Jon
