That fixed the problem for me, thanks.

OTOH, I've never had CONFIG_RTC enabled before, including 3.9.5, yet I've
always had /dev/rtc until 3.10.  Now I have /dev/rtc && /dev/rtc0, FWIW.

I have no idea why you guys are having the same problem with older kernels,
except maybe some useflag has changed recently.  Are all of you running
~amd64, maybe?

BTW, I pull directly from kernel.org, I don't use sys-kernel/git-sources,
so my git kernels are not affected by any useflags, FWIW.

Thanks guys.
