Created attachment 286443 [details, diff] /tmp/cgit-0.9.0.2-highlight-3.3.patch cgit's filter uses -X parameter that exists in version 3.5 of highlight, so it fails with the stable version. Another option is to patch cgit and remove this parameter.
Correction. -X was a parameter in 2.X, -x is a parameter in 3.X So this patch is required anyway as stable in gentoo is 3.X
Cannot make it dup of bug#379583
