It seems the ./remove_DEBUG script doesn't work well on your box, could you
please go the the /var/tmp/portage/ocaml-3.07-r1/work/ocaml-3.07/ocamldoc
directory and send the output of # ./remove_DEBUG odoc_sig.ml ? Also what
version of sed have you installed ?

Created an attachment (id=28713) [details]
the output of # ./remove_DEBUG odoc_sig.ml

See the attachment ..
The version of sed is 4.0.9.

It seems your locale settings are making the sed script fail. What are your
$LC_ALL and $LANG set to ? If something non-standard, you can try 
# LC_ALL=C LANG= emerge ocaml
and tell me how it works :)

The locale stuff worked - I've emerged the ocaml package. It's still a question
why since I never changed local settings :( In my case both LC_ALL and LANG are
not defined.

i emerged it (3.07-r1) on a sparc , without problem .

I added an export LC_ALL=C to be sure it builds whatever your environment is.
