Done, and there is an improvement in the error code at least: 

* Determining the location of the kernel source code
 * Found kernel source directory:
 *     /usr/src/linux
 * Found kernel object directory:
 *     /tmp/kernel
 * Found sources for kernel version:
 *     2.6.12-gentoo-r10

 * getfilevar requires 2 variables, with the second a valid file.
 *    getfilevar <VARIABLE> <CONFIGFILE>
 * Could not find a usable .config in the kernel source directory.
 * Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a configured set of Linux 
sources.
 * If you are using KBUILD_OUTPUT, please set the environment var so that
 * it points to the necessary object directory so that it might find .config.

Why would the .config that's in the directory not be usable?  I just did the 
make oldconfig && make as you suggested - which ran without errors ...

I guess if I could read/understand bash I'd find out from "linux-info.eclass" 
what it wanted of .config - but that's where I come unstuck.
