I tried to compile app-text/linuxdoc-tools-0.9.21_p11 but it failed with the following message:
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --with-installed-iso-entities --libdir=/usr/lib64 --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

I looked up booth tools in Debian to find out that onsgmls is provided by app-text/opensp and nsgmls is provided by James Clarks' SP.

I didn't find the last one in the portage tree. emerging opensp fixed the problem for me so adding app-text/opensp as an dependency should fix the real bug.
