Build errors on 4.11 in docs with pdf and/or html

[Bill Vermillion]

I had gotten busy and had not done a new buildworld since January.

I had a failure in buildworld, and the next day [I do nightly
cvsup's], I did a make clean and got the same problem.

So I did the logical thing, I removed the entire /usr/src and
/usr/obj and re-cvsuped.

I again got errors.

Here is that error. [everthing deleted except the final section]

I remember at one time I had a problem building docs with the PDF
option turned on in make.conf.  So I checked and I had
FORMATS=pdf html  in /etc/make.conf.

Ah ha!  So I changed that to be FORMATS=html and rebuild again.

This is the error of that output - again just stage 4 onward.

Hm.  It won't build with FOMMATS=html either.

I've used that line in my /etc/make.conf for a long time.
I do not recall I've ever had this problem before.

I commented the FORMATS line out completey in /etc/make.conf
and now everything builds correctly.

I wish I had built more often but that's how this year has been so
far.  So the last build I did where everything worked in the past
was on January 29 at 21:22 EST.

Is there something else I may have changed that caused this, or
has the behaviour changed in the past 4 months.

Bill
