I am not sure why CONFIG_NET was not enabled, but CONFIG_NAMESPACES is. I can think of security being a probable reason to have network disabled and left as a conscious choice, until the rest of the system is configured. Either way, the Gentoo Handbook kernel section refers to configuring the network and you can't miss the top level 'Networking support' choice when you run 'make menuconfig': [*] Networking support ---> Perhaps CONFIG_NAMESPACES should be disabled too. Your bug report ought to receive an explanation, or fix soon.
