7 No. The /usr/src/linux kernel tree that ebuilds use to find out what $KV is, is
8 not necessarily configured for the running kernel. You may have just compiled a
9 new kernel, and are now preparing modules for the new kernel. After all, since
10 modules depend on the kernel tree it matters not what kernel is running, but
11 what kernel tree you're compiling against.
