You will have to manually change the ebuild to --with-docs. Gentoo's ebuild howto will explain you how to do that. About the --with-big-tables and --without-big-tables, this kind of behaviour is usual. There is some logic behind the choice of which option will be used, and portage makes use of that. Usually you can safely assume portage has already figured that out for you; and in this case it checks for the big-tables USE flag to do so. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
