I don't have a strong preference, but I used cat here for esthetic 
symmetry reasons with the line above. Anyway, here's v4:

Subject: [PATCH] kernel-build.eclass: work around permissions issue with
  module signing

Currently, using a custom path for MODULES_SIGN_KEY requires the key to
be readable by portage:portage. This is not ideal for security, since
the file has to be either owned by portage:portage or readable by all
users in this case. Instead, export the contents of MODULES_SIGN_KEY to
a variable in pkg_setup, and then create a temporary file with it in
src_configure to ensure that the temporary key is readable by the user
that the kernel is being built as. The variable is then unset so it does
not end up in the final environment file.
