The following works here: 1) ebuild `equery w loop-aes` unpack 2) cd $PORTDIR/sys-fs/loop-aes-<version>/work/loop-AES-<version>/ 3) make EXTRA_CIPHERS=y 4) cd ../../ 5) touch .compiled 6) cd 7) ebuild `equery w loop-aes` merge (I actually stopped only up to step 3, but it finished w/o error) Since you said something about lack of documentation about loop-aes, have you already found this? http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES.README NOTE: "In order to support AES and other ciphers, mount, umount, losetup, swapon and swapoff need to be patched and recompiled." There's a hope - Gentoo may provide a patched version of util-linux. In case those tools are not already patched I wouldn't go that far on a system which is not especially dedicated for this encryption test of yours.
