Nothing is wrong. That file is required for klibc. From the ebuild notes: NOTES: ====== We need to bring in the kernel sources seperately Because they have to be configured in a way that differs from the copy in /usr/src/. The sys-kernel/linux-headers are too stripped down to use unfortunetly. This will be able to go away once the klibc author updates his code to build again the headers provided by the kernel's 'headers_install' target.
