Hello,

I have trouble compiling the 3.4.9 kernel with genkernel (gentoo)
having enabled the Ali Corp webcam (m5602) driver.

Here's the output of the ver_linux script:

If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.

My current kernel configuration is attached to this mail. What I
tried to do, was to enable the Ali Corp webcam (m5602) driver using
menuconfig as follows:

Device Drivers --->
<*> Multimedia Support --->
<*> Video For Linux (NEW)
[*] Video capture adapters (NEW) --->
[*] V4L USB devices (NEW) --->
<*> GSPCA based webcams (NEW) --->
<*> Ali USB m5602 Camera Driver

Here's the relevant output of genkernel:
