The latest net-tools (net-tools-1.60-r5, possible other versions also) does not install the man pages for route, ipconfig, etc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge net-tools-1.60-r5 2. emerge -C all older versions 3. type 'man route', or 'man ipconfig'
sephora quota # emerge -p net-tools These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

please note that it would be: man ifconfig NOT man ipconfig :P please remerge the package if the man pages are still not showing up for you, anyway.
I have the same problem. There's something wrong during the "install" step. Tried to reinstall the package multiple times without success (with different CFLAGS). I provide the full log of the emerge.
Created attachment 9471 [details] Output of "emerge net-tools" CFLAGS="march=pentium3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" tried also with different CFLAGS with the same problem.
Sorry but the "tee" command left a bit of output out (don't know why). I created a new log with all the infos...
Created attachment 9472 [details] Output of "emerge net-tools" This has some infos the old log hasn't
