   The default ls is part of sys-apps/coreutils, could be that you missed to   
   emerge it, or your $PATH is messed up and the file in question can't be found   
   by the system (did you run: source /etc/profile).   
      
   If you are missing coreutils, then use busybox,   
      
   busybox ls -l /usr/src/linux   
      
   if you do get the same error, then it's your $PATH which ain't up to date.   
      
   using the full path will be a temporary solution, but I suggest you run the   
   source command.
