The problem is that the signature of these routines is written as

       remainder(x1, x2[, out])

and not as

       remainder(x1, x2, out=None)

on the first line of the docstrings. The autosummary part tries to
truncate the argument list if it is too long, but its parser chokes on
the nonstandard syntax.

cd doc
export PYTHONPATH=wherever-you-installed-numpy

make dist
