I tried to contact few months ago upstream about this and received:

As for the gc command, I'm unaware of any other gc command. What does /usr/bin/gc do? Is this special to gentoo, as we haven't had any problems
with the other Linux distributions. The gc command goes back to 2001. It is the graph equivalent of wc, and is widely used by itself.

The address does not work anymore:

I suggest /gc/graphviz_gc/. BTW, was there /usr/bin/wc in the past?

Maybe somebody try to open it at http://www.graphviz.org/content/graphviz-issue-tracker ?
Comment 2 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2015-05-29 01:26:06 UTC
There is no package called sci-biology/codonw in the gentoo repository.

It is in science overlay.

You should mention that up front next time.
