well, none of those errors is Gentoo specific. It's kernel compilations
problems, and you'll have those in any distribution. Even the binary ones, if
you want to install a custom kernel.
for the users that can't compile the kernel by himself, Gentoo provides the
genkernel, that works quite well (I never needed to use it, but I know some
guys that love it). i'm not sure, but the "default" kernel instalation method
in the handbook is using genkernel. so, it could be simplier (if with it you
mean easier) if you want it to. and seems that you don't (choosing the manual
method ;) ).
i am talking of *both* methods. i don't remember anything *exactly*
but with genkernel i had exactly same weired problems when i didn't
choose VIA PATA in my kernel while compiling manually. i tried 2 times
and after that i quit generkernel and decided always to do a
transparent manual kernel-compilation.
