Yikes... I think you may have it, since `eix -I' reports:

Installed versions: 2.6.20-r6(2.6.20-r6))07:51:05 04/16/07()build symlink(
Homepage: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches
Description: Full sources including the Gentoo patchset for the
2.6 kernel tree
I got the idea of emerge -C from the output of `ls -F /usr/src'
CONFIG-linux-2.6.20-gentoo-r6 linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r8/
CONFIG-orig-020707 linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r4/
linux@ linux-2.6.20-gentoo-r6/
Note the earlier version trees at that address.
I haven't installed or downloaded kernel sources outside of emerge
(far as I can remember) so those are likely installed by emerge.
My understanding of:
root # emerge -vpC "<"gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r6
is that it should uninstall any version less than 2.6.20-r6.
Is that true or does that command only target the immediately prior
version?
A little further testing shows that using an exact target also fails:
root # emerge -vCp "="gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r4
>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:
--- Couldn't find '=gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r4' to unmerge.
So apparently emerge is not aware of the earlier versions in /usr/src.
