Why not use /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source - it works for 2.6 at least.
It could be your first try - second /usr/src/linux/...

this is against kernel policy since we never should be building against
the current running kernel.
we should be building against what we dictate via KERNEL_DIR.
think critical modules which need to run at the next boot of a new
kernel.

[gentoo-kernel] linux-mod / linux-info changes

[Daniel Drake]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1133 bytes --]

Hi,

I just went over the linux-mod and linux-info stuff, we had at least had some 
preliminary discussion on this beforehand but the stuff that went into portage 
isn't quite how I would like it.

Firstly there isn't enough error checking in the version getting code. 
Especially after a recent bug in the kernel-2 eclass where old sources got 
partially removed, some people have broken kernel source trees lying around 
and do not get a useful error message from linux-info when it can't parse the 
version info.

Secondly, whilst getfilevar looks good, its interface looks quite poor. We 
should be trying to simplify things for ebuilds, not worrying them that the 
config file is called ".config" and is located under $KV_OUT_DIR and not 
$KV_DIR .. (and think about what would happen if .config was renamed to 
something else..)
So I replaced those functions, and they can be used from ebuilds like:
	linux_chkconfig_builtin MTRR
which will check that CONFIG_MTRR=y

If there are no objections then I'll commit this and fix up the ebuilds 
sometime soon (do we have any users other than nvidia-kernel and alsa-driver?)

Daniel
