Here is mine:
# ls -l /usr/src/
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   21 Feb 23 10:02 linux -> linux-3.2.1-gentoo-r2
drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Feb 23 10:23 linux-3.2.1-gentoo-r2

and I made sure that its a completely clean install of gentoo-sources

The only thing I can currently think of is maybe the kernel config files 
in /boot?
# ls -l /boot/
total 13760
