Well, I wrote a simple ebuild based on the cvs eclass and it appears to
compile correctly, but I'm having trouble. Depmod reports that the
snd-au8830.o module can't resolve dependencies for various functions.
Here's the errors:

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/kernel/sound/pci/au88x0/snd-au8830.o
depmod:         snd_ac97_read_Rfaba39c9
depmod:         snd_ac97_write_cache_Ra8628301
depmod:         snd_ac97_mixer_R5e7caaeb

How do I get it to compile the ac97 stuff? It looks like it's not doing it
right now for me.
