Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-04-15 04:51:11 UTC 
It's allowed but implementation-defined, so ebuilds relying on it aren't portable.

PMS says:
"doexe

Installs the given files into the directory specified by the most recent exeinto call. If
exeinto has not yet been called, behaviour is undefined. Files are installed by default with
file mode 0755, or with the install options set by the most recent exeopts call. Failure
behaviour is EAPI dependent as per section 12.3.1."

Not sure if this fits better into pkgcheck (or do both) or what.
