   No, there are some trouble with klibc that makes it can't be compiled against   
   a normal kernel source or against the Linux headers, you need a specially   
   patched kernel source to make this work, thats why you get the 2.6.24-rc7   
   kernel source (don't use this one to compile a normal kernel).

   Each time you build something, you download the source and gentoo patches, you   
   should clean out your /usr/portage/distfiles of all unneeded files. A full   
   install of KDE will take something like 511M when compiled.
