Created attachment 380996 [details] emerge --info '=www-client/epiphany-3.12.1::gentoo' This is related to the following bugs: 513280 517386 After the fix for 517386 I see the symptom reported in 531280 when attempting to build ephiphany; the configure step now succeeds but it warns that YELP_HELP_INIT is command-not-found and produces a Makefile in help/ which has an unsubstituted YELP automake macro on line 513. Of course the build then fails. I suspect gnome-common should have a dependency on yelp-tools, but maybe it is epiphany itself.

Fixed by emerge --quiet-build yelp-tools, which (for me) installed virtual/awk-1 (neat, didn't know that existed) and gnome-extra/yelp-xsl as well as app-text/yelp-tools. After that I can successfully emerge epiphany, and it displays www.gentoo.org
I can confirm the issue (make failing with strange errors) and the solution (merging yelp-tools).
