On a not-quite embedded Gentoo system (armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu - 266 mhz arm, 32MB ram, 512MB thumb drive), I have noman, noinfo, and nodoc Portage features set so as to have as functional an install in as small a space as possible. However, vim-core installs 5MB of txt files in /usr/share/vim/vim70/doc that "nodoc" should prevent from installing. Reproducible: Always
FEATURES="nodoc" won't help here since these doc files aren't installed with the dodoc command. You should look at the INSTALL_MASK variable instead. For example: INSTALL_MASK="/usr/share/vim/vim{70,files}/doc/*"
