I've seen this problem on 2 machines, all installed with gentoo 1.2 (gcc 2.95.3)

there must be something wrong with your compiler
is there no error/warning message during configure ?

it doesn't seem to be attaching those CFLAGS to a compiler...

This is the full configure output, no errors I believe ... Note that emerging
man-1.5l on system installed with 1.4rc3 works fine. The two machines that have
the problem are both installed with 1.2.

emerge -puD --world

are there any systempackages you might update ?

this could be a quick solution
USE="-nls" emerge man

USE="-nls" emerge man gives me the exact same error. emerge -puD gives about 30
packages to upgrade, but that's exactly what I was trying to do, until it
stopped at man-1.5l.

try to update other packages, the try man package again

mabye emerge -puD man helps you

No luck, still doesn't work, but when I do this:

CC="gcc" emerge man

it does work! I tried env-update && source /etc/profile and then emerge man, but that doesn't make a difference... I see a lot of sed'ding going on in the ebuild involving ${CC}:

                sed -e '/inst.sh/d' \
                        -e '/^CC =/c\' \
                        -e "CC = gcc" \
                        -e '/^CFLAGS =/c\' \
                        -e "CFLAGS = ${CFLAGS}" \
                        Makefile.in.orig > Makefile.in

The Makefile.in generated from this does not include a valid CC= line where there should be one (it is in Makefile.in.orig):
# use of catalogs - aeb, June 1994

/^CFLAGS =/c   <= this shouldn't be here
CFLAGS = -march=i686 -O3 -pipe
INSTALL = @INSTALL@

Any clue's on how to get the sed thing right? (sed version = 4.0.6, btw)

try to unset CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf

maybe there's a typo in it

Unsetting CFLAGS didn't help. Is there a difference between the sed used in 1.2
installs and 1.4 installs?

both are now 4.0.6

I think i've found the bug. This is the actual sed command in the -r1 ebuild:

                sed -e '/inst.sh/d' \
                        -e '/^CC =/c\' \
                        -e '/^CFLAGS =/c\' \
                        -e "CFLAGS = ${CFLAGS}" \
                        Makefile.in.orig > Makefile.in

As you can see this line:
                        -e "CC = gcc" \
is missing. I mistakenly copied the 1.5l (not -r1) sed command into this bug report. After I add this line to the -r1 ebuild it works. On 1.4 it always works because the CC env-var is always set there, but on 1.2 it's not (for whatever reason). That also explains why I got '/^CFLAGS =/c\ in my Makefile.in.
However, after correcting this it still doesn't work, I also have to change this line:
        make CC="${CC}" || die
into 
        make || die
The real problem seems to be this ebuild expects ${CC} to be set in the environment and on 1.2 that is not so. After changing these two things it works. Any clues?

do you have gcc-config installed ?

Nope, it's further down in the list of 'packages to install'.

try to install this, then emerge the original man ebuild

i think it just has to be installed first (gcc-config)

After installing both gcc-config and gcc-2.95.3-r8 it works. ${CC} is now set,
so the ebuild succeeds. I guess man should depend on gcc-2.95.3-r8 then..

Ill rather bet on bootstrap.sh merged gcc-2.95.3-r7 first.  Although it did
not really make a differense in the past.  It is prob though to that new
sed in there.  The most obvious fix is to do something like:

[ -z "${CC}" ] && CC=gcc

in src_compile().

Note that the sed command in the -r1 ebuild IMHO is still wrong..

Adding [ -z "${CC}" ] && CC=gcc  to src_compile works, even with gcc-2.95-r7
without gcc-config.

The sed and CC stuff was a bit screwy.  I cleaned up the mess ... try
man-1.5l-r2,
and let me know if its fixed.

Perfect! works like a charm .. thank you!

Great.  Ill mark -r2 stable in a bit if there are no distcc/whatever issues
from it.

This really borked my install of gentoo during emerge --emptytree system. Now
after installing gcc-config and gcc, I can't emerge anything at all. 12 hours
wasted, thanks.

Reopen, it seems to be broken again.

no, it should be fixed

1.5l is fixed, but 1.6-rc1 is broken.  I don't know why bug 170222 was marked a
duplicate of this bug, the version numbers are different.

*sigh* Sorry, but this is broken... 

same issue, but this bug is old
