Xavier,

I have attached the build.log.

The kernel has KVM configured as modules for both Intel and AMD.

CONFIG_KVM=m

CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=m

CONFIG_KVM_AMD=m



Also I doubt the portage version is the problem as I downgraded it to 2.1.4.5 and it still fails in the same way.



Please let me know if you need other logs or configs.
