Hmm, I thought there might be a discrepancy between the version of the kernel you are running and the kernel the symlink /usr/src/linux points to. However, this does not seem to be the case.

The message "Could not find a Makefile in the kernel source directory." probably means that the contents of linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r6 directory is somehow damaged or incomplete. This is possibly because you updated the kernel sources to 2.6.23-r8 and unmerged the former 2.6.23-r6 sources.

This is what I suggest:
1. Make the symlink point to linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r8.
Code:
rm /usr/src/linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r8 /usr/src/linux

2. Configure, build and install the new kernel (as you have done before; see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/fr/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7#doc_chap3 or http://www.gentoo.org/doc/fr/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7#doc_chap4).
3. Reboot and try emerging vlc again.
