[gentoo-amd64] Can't build kernel

I haven't been able to build 2.6.21. I was hoping it was maybe just a "-0" release problem, but I'm getting the same error with -r1. Here it is:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `acpi_bus_generate_event':
(.text+0x4325d): undefined reference to `event_is_open'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `acpi_bus_get_power':
(.text+0x43515): undefined reference to `acpi_power_get_inferred_state'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `acpi_bus_set_power':
(.text+0x4362b): undefined reference to `acpi_power_transition'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `acpi_bus_set_power':
(.text+0x4369d): undefined reference to `acpi_power_transition'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

did you use genkernel?
If yes. Don't.

And don't built acpi-stuff modular.

If problem persists, use vanilla-sources. They do always work...

FWIW 2.6.21 built here a couple weeks ago and is still running fine. May be 
equipment or configuration specific problem.

Why not? I used it, and works as usual...

because there is no good reason to use it? Besides the horrible kernels I have 
seen built by that 'tool'?

I think it's very convenient, I use it from within another script that 
mounts /boot, takes the current config, issues make oldconfig, calls 
genkernel, and in the end it rebuilds those packages that would break.
It also add a bunch of lines in /etc/lilo.conf, call "lilo -v" and 
reports the exit error code.

Even if I still think you assertions are quite vague (also speaking of 
the other post, the one about nvidia drivers), I guess the point 
is: "if you let genkernel do all the work it makes a lot of choices a 
user would never take, so for a Linux user it's better to know what 
kind of hardware is handling than rely blindly on a script".

In this case I fully agree, having spent a couple of hours the first 
time(s) I configured the 2.6 kernel.
