On an intel machine, gcc-4.1.2 has a full man page, but gcc-4.3.2 and gcc-4.3.4 have an empty one. On amd server machines, only gcc-4.3.2 is missing. On an amd desktop machine, none is missing. Having a look at the portage compilation logfile, it seems the generation of gcc.pod from invoke.texi is done before invoke.texi being ready (i.e. the "mv -f gcc-vers.texiT gcc-vers.texi" is done after the texi2pod.pl run). Is make -j9 messing up when running parallel ? Attached are the significant part of the compilation log. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sys-devel/gcc 2. man gcc 3.

It's random. Reemerge gcc on the machines that are missing manpages and it will probably work. Duplicate of 256608.
