That would make sense, as the actual build host is running a different
kernel. But this is only visible in uname output - headers, symbols
etc. are all picked up from the target kernel.

Gary Buhrmaster pointed me to

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=232511

and also quoted that maybe more than just one patch is needed for
2.6.26 support. But OTOH you did well with only that one patch.

I'll forward you his mail in PM.
