Huh. Apparently I ran across this myself in the past, since I found a
patch lurking in my source tree.

The reason this occurs is because you and I are building with NODOC,
which leaves dist/doc empty, and the above find construct will refuse to
-delete if the directory specified on the command line is one of the
ones that would have been deleted.

Either patch the makefile as above, tell make to ignore the return code
of this find invocation, or put some non-empty files into
/usr/obj/usr/src/release/dist/doc during the release building process
(like a README pointing to the docs tarball on the mirrors) to make it
not trigger the empty condition.

Hope this helps!
