pkg_setup() is shared between binpkgs and srcpkgs, and often it ends up containing stuff that should be rather placed into src_{prepare,configure,whatever}. -- Fabio Erculiani http://lxnay.com

Anything using /proc/config.gz is broken. For the following reasons: 1) could be not available (CONFIG not enabled) 2) doesn't reflect the kernel you're compiling against (chrooted env, multiple kernels on the system, etc) -- Fabio Erculiani
