app-misc/lirc-0.9.0-r2 fails to compile on kernel 3.6.x (had the same problem on some older kernels as well, 3.5.x for example). The error is: /var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.9.0-r2/work/lirc-0.9.0/drivers/lirc_serial/lirc_serial.c:69:24: fatal error: asm/system.h: No such file or directory Based on the descriptions of the commits in the kernel the asm/system.h file was disintegrated. Here is a merge made by Linus Torvalds http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=0195c00244dc2e9f522475868fa278c473ba7339 that is related to the issue. Possible solutions: If I create an asm/system.h file in the directory where the sources are compiled (by editing the ebuild for example) I can get it to compile (but that will not work for every kernel). A patch for the files that include asm/system.h (attached). It seems that completely removing the line (if the kernel is newer) does the trick - or at least it did it for me, didn't have any issues with the serial driver (the only one that I use).

Created attachment 327318 [details, diff] Patch for the source code that removes the include for asm/system.h on newer kernels
Created attachment 327320 [details] Modified ebuild that applies the patch above
According to http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-282144.html , in kernels 3.3 and above <asm/switch_to.h> should be used instead of <asm/system.h> I think keeping the switch_to #defines set in lirc_serial.c and lirc_sir.c will be more portable than just skipping them.

Copied the files over from http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-misc/lirc/files/ (to be able to test it now). Works for me too. Thank you for the quick response!
