When I emerge libsigc++ 2.0.15 with the USE-flag +doc, I don't get the html documentation installed. During emerge I get this error: /usr/portage/dev-libs/libsigc++/libsigc++-2.0.15.ebuild: /usr/lib/portage/bin/dohtml: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: Argument list too long Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

This is a limitation of Bash and there's nothing that dohtml can do about it. The ebuild should be fixed to accomplish the same thing with a shorter argument list.
Well, this should work w/ 2.6.23+ kernels now, but still should be fixed.
Indeed, it works correctly now. Closing.
