Oooh... you mean running Gentoo as a guest.
Well, you do have to have built a kernel first (or at least a "make
config"). The build sets up some symlinks that building other,
third-party modules need.
I also have a modified rc script for the tools, that works with openrc.
Let me know if you want it.
I also have an up-to-date Gentoo x86 server VM with the tools already
installed.
