When emerging svgalib-1.9.19, if the kernel has been built outside the kernel tree (config-kernel --make-koutput=[whatever]), the kernel module is not built. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. config-kernel --make-koutput=2.6.7-gentoo-r5 2. make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install 3. emerge svgalib Actual Results: The libraries are compiled and installed as usual, but the kernel module is neither compiled nor installed. This is due to fact that the ebuild looks for the .config file in /usr/src/linux to detrmine if the kernel has modules enabled, but if the kernel is built outside the kernel tree, the file is not there but in /var/tmp/kernel-output/2.6.x-whatever-ry. Expected Results: It should have checked whether the kernel was built in the source tree or outside it and look for the .config file in the proper place.
