This is probably an upstream problem, but anyway. After upgrade to gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9 qc-usb doesn't build, exits with error: gcc -Wp,-MD,/var/tmp/portage/qc-usb-0.6.0/work/qc-usb-0.6.0/.qc-hdcs.o.d -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -Wdeclaration-after-statement -pipe -msoft-float -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=pentium4 -Iinclude/asm-i386/mach-default -DNOKERNEL -DNDEBUG -DMODULE -DKBUILD_BASENAME=qc_hdcs -DKBUILD_MODNAME=quickcam -c -o /var/tmp/portage/qc-usb-0.6.0/work/qc-usb-0.6.0/qc-hdcs.o /var/tmp/portage/qc-usb-0.6.0/work/qc-usb-0.6.0/qc-hdcs.c In file included from /var/tmp/portage/qc-usb-0.6.0/work/qc-usb-0.6.0/qc-driver.c:47: /var/tmp/portage/qc-usb-0.6.0/work/qc-usb-0.6.0/quickcam.h:79:2: warning: #warning "procfs support disabled" In file included from /var/tmp/portage/qc-usb-0.6.0/work/qc-usb-0.6.0/qc-hdcs.c:27: /var/tmp/portage/qc-usb-0.6.0/work/qc-usb-0.6.0/quickcam.h:79:2: warning: #warning "procfs support disabled" /var/tmp/portage/qc-usb-0.6.0/work/qc-usb-0.6.0/qc-driver.c: In function `qc_i2c_init': /var/tmp/portage/qc-usb-0.6.0/work/qc-usb-0.6.0/qc-driver.c:689: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated /var/tmp/portage/qc-usb-0.6.0/work/qc-usb-0.6.0/qc-driver.c:696: error: structure has no member named `timeout' /var/tmp/portage/qc-usb-0.6.0/work/qc-usb-0.6.0/qc-driver.c: In function `qc_usb_disconnect': /var/tmp/portage/qc-usb-0.6.0/work/qc-usb-0.6.0/qc-driver.c:2985: warning: unused variable `usbdev' make[1]: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/qc-usb-0.6.0/work/qc-usb-0.6.0] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.9-gentoo' make: *** [quickcam.ko] Error 2 qc-usb 0.6.1 is released as well (but not in portage, see bug #63897), tried it with portage overlay, same problem.

qc-usb CVS doesn't build too, same error. Filed bug report upstream.
Resolution is to upgrade to 0.6.2. Copying the ebuild and removing the patch works for me. (It seems I cannot reopen a bug I don't own. If this sits here for a few days I'll open another)
