Hey all
I tried to emerge the madwifi-ng drivers for my Macbook Pro yesterday and find that there were some kernel options that I needed and that a new kernel was out I decided to update my kernel. However I can't get it to build. I was going from 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 to 2.6.24-gentoo and ran into problems. So I tried to update 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 and ran into the same problem. Here's the output

2.6.22-gentoo-r8
Code:
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/utsrelease.h
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
dnsdomainname: Unknown host
  GEN     usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz
/usr/src/linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r8/scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: line 239: mktemp: command not found
make[1]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 127
make: *** [usr] Error 2


2.6.24-gentoo
Code:
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/utsrelease.h
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
dnsdomainname: Unknown host
  GEN     usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz
/usr/src/linux-2.6.24-gentoo/scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: line 239: mktemp: command not found
make[1]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 127
make: *** [usr] Error 2


Hardware is a Macbook Pro 2.2 C2D Santa Rosa

****EDIT****
Wow guess I didn't need to post, somehow mktemp got unemerged and that's a huge problem. Downgrading coreutils allowed me to (re)emerge mktemp.

What version of sys-apps/coreutils was installed when these failures occurred?
