With kernel commit 4d15c9fa058e6, the "$DEPMOD" invocation at the end of kernel scripts/depmod.sh became an "exec", which broke the old strategy in linux-mod-r1.eclass whereby $DEPMOD was set to ":". (See also kernel commit 79b96c332241c.) I was able to recover correct functionality with this: --- /etc/portage/overlay/eclass/linux-mod-r1.eclass.dist 2023-06-06 17:04:46.189817830 -0500 +++ /etc/portage/overlay/eclass/linux-mod-r1.eclass 2023-10-31 15:06:55.556355747 -0500 @@ -1161,7 +1161,7 @@ _modules_set_makeargs() { # eclass handle strip, sign, compress, and depmod (CONFIG_ should # have no impact on building, only used by Makefile.modinst) CONFIG_MODULE_{SIG_ALL,COMPRESS_{GZIP,XZ,ZSTD}}= - DEPMOD=: + DEPMOD=/bin/true STRIP=: ) I discovered the problem while reinstalling net-firewall/xtables-addons.

Thanks, will handle this in a bit. (note that this is only an issue for modules doing `make install`, so e.g. nvidia-drivers which I already tested with 6.6 was not affected)
