Many dev-python packages fail with USE=doc in the same way. sphinxcontrib-websupport depends on whoosh, which (with USE=doc) also needs sphinxcontrib-websupport - circular dependence. With proper DEPENDs, portage should warn the user and suggest to emerge whoosh with USE=-doc first. This solves the immediate problem. But DEPENDs of many packages with USE=doc are wrong - they don't contain sphinxcontrib-websupport.
