I suggest that these files not be installed.

I don't see anything like that here.

(In reply to Ryan Hill from comment #1)

Do you have "doc" USE flag enabled for sys-devel/gcc?
Do you have app-doc/doxygen installed?
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2015-05-26 08:32:47 UTC 
not sure if there's a way to turn Directory Reference's off in doxygen (which is what all of those are).  they've slowly updated their "run_doxygen" script to delete more and more of these things.

most of them were trimmed via bug 113902, but looks like i missed a few.

i've updated the eclass to blindly delete any generated man page with the string 'Directory Reference'.
