Is the current gentoo-sources package "linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r8"? If not,
you're in the wrong directory. You probably want to,

  cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.39-gentoo
  make <whatever>
  ...
  ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.6.39-gentoo /usr/src/linux

the last line updates the /usr/src/linux symlink to point to the right
place.
