Documentation including info files and man pages should be compressed wrt PORTAGE_COMPRESS settings. The toolchain packages don't do that, as they use non-standard paths for these files due to slotting; other packages with their own (slotted) info or man paths (e.g. llvm) pass them to docompress, and so should binutils and gcc. As noted, is should be fixed by adding a call to docompress in src_install() for the affected packages. I'm not sure whether these are all relevant packages: * sys-devel/gcc, sys-devel/kgcc64: Add the following line sonwhere in toolchain_src_install() in toolchain.eclass: docompress "${DATAPATH}"/{info,man} * sys-devel/binutils, sys-devel/binutils-hppa64: Add exactly the same line to src_install() in the ebuilds * binutils-apple, sys-devel/gcc-apple: These seem to deviate substantially from the normal toolchain packages. Haven't looked closely yet, but the docompress args have to change. Anything else? (I think dev-util/mingw64-toolchain doesn't install documentation.) I could set up a pull request, but it's probably simpler to fix it youselves: It's a simple one-liner in each case, but I don't know how you'd like it exactly (E.g. best place to insert the call, which versions are not worth fixing, do you want revbumps,…)
We need to do auto{conf,make}{-vanilla,} too (going off INFOPATH on my system).
Looking at MANPATH, dev-lang/php, dev-lang/rust, and dev-java/openjdk* need fixing too, but we should do that in a new bug.

grobian: I've done the trivial change for gcc-apple which I think should be ok but could you handle binutils-apple?
