Portage devs,

After querying some folks in #gentoo-portage concerning bug #233266[1], it was 
suggested to me to add the entire /usr/src to PRELINK_PATH_MASK.

To sum up the bug, when emerging tuxonice-sources with prelink installed,
every file was checked which isn't necessary since nothing in there gets 
compiled during the install.

After speaking to dsd, we were thinking of adding an env.d file from within 
the postinst_sources function in the kernel-2.eclass if the file does not 
already exist. This env.d file will add /usr/src to PRELINK_PATH_MASK.

The thinking here is that the file would not be owned by any package so we
would not need one per kernel source package and it would not be removed when
unmerging a kernel package.

Thoughts?
