Hi again, Sorry to top-post, but since 1) it's been a bit (RL and minor PC crises, sorry) and 2) I fixed it, I hope everyone will forgive me for putting the relevant information first.
Anyway, in the course of trying to clean up the 3900 unread list messages since I started my reinstall of Gentoo a couple of weeks ago, I discovered a thread entitled "Gentoo: /usr/include/linux" from May 5th, which suggested that re-emerging linux-headers might solve a multitude of ills related to failures involving files in /usr/include/linux. And so I re-emerged the headers, and lvm2 emerged fine therafter. Hurrah, one PC cleanup task off my list :-) . But thanks for the help (and you were right, it was the headers, for whatever reason).
