Current kernel source poackage is broken, eigher use
linux-source-2.4.4-rx.ebuild or
use a default kernel and run a manual config inbetween.

cd /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux
ebuild linux-2.4.4.5.ebuild unpack
cd /tmp/portage/linux-2.4.4.5/work/linux
make menuconfig
cd /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux
ebuild linux-2.4.4.5.ebuild merge
