Subject: Lirc and Gentoo dev kernel

I am using gentoo with the developement kernel sources. I am in kernel
2.6.8-gentoo-r3 right now and having problems with lirc.  I can emerge lirc
and find the lirc_serial and lirc_dev modules built by default. As I am
using an Audigy2, I would like the gpio drivers built, so I've added
LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=gpio" to the /etc/make.conf so it builds with gpio,
however lirc's build bombs out during the configure script with:

checking for Linux kernel sources... /usr/src/linux/ checking for which
drivers can be installed on this system...
checking for caraca_init in -lcaraca_client... no checking for ir_strerror
in -lirman... no checking for ir_strerror in -lirman_sw... no checking for
portaudio.h... no checking for alsa/asoundlib.h... yes checking for
snd_pcm_open in -lasound... yes
configure: error: *** it is not possible to install the specified driver
        on this system

!!! ERROR: app-misc/lirc-0.7.0_pre7 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 362, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed


My question is where can I go from here? is there something else I need to
configure, or is there something I can do to help folks figure out any
issues with 2.6.8 and lirc?  let me know if I can help the effort, or if you
have experience that may help my predicament.  Thanks everyone
