When I try to build the 'modules' target with linux it doesn't create
the .ko files. It seems to get stuck at 'stage 2', whatever that
means, and I am at a loss finding out what exactly stage 2 is, from
looking at scripts/Makefile.modpost, and why it doesn't build.
It seems to me that the stage2 is what takes the .o files for all the
modules and converts them to .ko files. Here is an example from my
kernel build:
------

rm -f .kernelrelease
echo 2.6.16-suspend2-r5 > .kernelrelease

There are a lot more "make -f scripts/" lines, and a lot more modules
on the modpost command, than what I included here.
What is interesting to me is that your build didn't iterate through
the other obj= lines that I have.
This happens with either a vanilla-sources or gentoo-sources kernel
and doesn't happen when I try to build the gentoo kernel from within
another system, like a knoppix liveCD.
Hmm, I see you are building an x86_64 kernel...is this being
cross-compiled? Are the other environments x86_64 architecture as
well? I guess posting your emerge --info output would be useful
here...
