The error you're reporting here is a kernel build error and
not related to Gentoo (or any other distribution).  I've seen
them in my own builds,  you'll need to track down all the
correct flags to enable when building.

So which kernel are you using?  Did you do a "make clean" to
see if that spread any light?

Good luck with Gentoo, but DeadRat is not the cause of your
problem here.
