Description A. Person 2013-03-15 19:42:16 UTC 
sys-devel/bc is now required in order to compile the kernel so it should be added as a dependency of the kernel packages.

BC      kernel/timeconst.h
/bin/sh: bc: command not found
make[1]: *** [kernel/timeconst.h] Error 127
make: *** [kernel] Error 2

Reproducible: Always

Which kernel package and version? Could you provide your config file?

For instance, I can't reproduce this on =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.3.
Comment 2 A. Person 2013-03-18 21:52:28 UTC 
The kernel that fails to compile for me is git-sources-3.9-rc2.  I think this indicates that bc is now required:
