I can't seem to get control-center compiled. It seems there are some missing statements in the file control-center.xml Example: ---- db2omf: Could not construct the OMF maintainer element. Add an author, corpauthor, editor, othercredit, or publisher element with the role attribute set to "maintainer" to control-center.xml. ---- So, this could be fixed by changing './help/C/control-center.xml' <author role="maintainer"> <firstname>Kevin</firstname><surname>Breit</surname> </author> Reproducible: Always Actual Results: --------------------- BUILD ERROR: --------------------- make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-base/control-center-2.16.3/work/control-center-2.16.3/help' xsltproc -o control-center-C.omf --stringparam db2omf.basename control-center --stringparam db2omf.format 'docbook' --stringparam db2omf.dtd "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN" --stringparam db2omf.lang C --stringparam db2omf.omf_dir "/usr/share/omf" --stringparam db2omf.help_dir "/usr/share/gnome/help" --stringparam db2omf.omf_in "`pwd`/./control-center.omf.in" --stringparam db2omf.scrollkeeper_cl "`scrollkeeper-config --pkgdatadir`/Templates/C/scrollkeeper_cl.xml" `/usr/bin/pkg-config --variable db2omf gnome-doc-utils` C/control-center.xml || { rm -f "control-center-C.omf"; exit 1; } db2omf: Could not construct the OMF date element.

which version of gnome-doc-utils do you have ?
I was using app-text/gnome-doc-utils-0.10.3 see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=180386#c2 I reverted back to 0.8.0 now and everything seems to work fine.
Don't mix masked gnome-doc-utils with gnome 2.16. It will fail all over the place.
