I can confirm this bug. I'm using /bin/sh -> /bin/ash and it also fails with the same error. The issue is that "{AUTHORS,ChangeLog,COPYING,NEWS,README,TODO}" glob which isn't supported by all shells in the same way. I suppose this can either be fixed by replacing the glob with the actual filenames that are going to be installed and hence make the Makefile sh-complaint, or tell the Makefile to use /bin/bash. The problem is that the globs are found in nearly every Makefile in the gentoolkit tree so that means changing every file. I made this ebuild use /bin/bash as a shell and that resolved the issue.
Watching.

Will look at it.
Dropped the globbing. It was not needed, and was introduced as a bad habit. Will be part of the next release of Gentoolkit.
