http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/functions/src_configure/configuring/index.html The last of the examples reads: src_compile() { econf $(use_with X x11 ) } " which should be src_configure
Just an update, read the next page, on src_compile, where EAPI=0,1 have configuration in src_compile. I still think this item should be fixed because this page is a subpage of src_configure, and the src_compile page itself describes this. If it is deemed that it should be left as on this page, text should be indicating the reason why it is there (namely EAPI=0,1)
Well that was a trivial patch so you could have created a git patch yourself so you can get used to contributing to devmanual :) Either way this is fixed in git and will go live soon http://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/devmanual.git/commit/?id=06b8dc37062e8f83f08a447e6af2ba4253da4569
