I looked at genkernel before writing and GK_V is "3.5.0.1". Couldn't 
quickly figure out where the 'v' comes from.

I just analysed the issue, and it is the genkernel-9999 ebuild which 
modifies the GK_V into src_prepare(), by picking the git tag as version 
number.
Not sure which is better, change genkernel or catalyst. I guess 
protecting version check in catalyst will make it more reliable anyway.
