The scons build for kdissert needs COPY not symlink the documentation files. 
Otherwise, the install step copies the newly built KDE-style documentation into
/usr/kde/3.4/share/doc/HTML/en/kdissert (for example) and two of the files are
actually symlinks to the /var/tmp/portage tree where the product was built!

This was the kdissert-1.0.5 ebuild.

I looked a bit deeper and it looks like bksys/generic.py has

                lenv.SetOption('duplicate', 'soft-copy')

which causes soft links (symlinks) to be used rather than copying the files.

I changed it to

                lenv.SetOption('duplicate', 'copy')

and it fixed my problem.
