Well I went looking to see if I could figure out how to build the misc. tools from scratch and discovered there is no source package. So poked around some more. And was able to find...
At the top level of the tinyos repo is tools which have a lot of stuff including man pages for mig and ncc. But I couldn't find the mig source so poked some more and it looks like mig is actually part nesc. So I see a number of options for you to pursue... 1) You could switch from gentoo to a debian based distro. I really like Ubuntu. And then just use the Stanford repos. 2) You pull the Stanford .debs file and then pull them apart and then shove the enclosed files to where they need to go. 3) You can pull the current nesc release (1.3.2) from source forge and build and install. That will get you the current mig which should behave much better. I think it is great that you are trying to fix the Gentoo overlay but is it worth it? How much demand is there for the Gentoo stuff? Course if you fix it, that would increase the ease with which folks can use tinyos from gentoo.
