[fpc-pascal] compiling html docs from svn

A few weeks ago I was able to compile fpcdocs from svn with a script:

   SVNDIR=/usr/portage/distfiles/svn-src
   BUILDDIR=/home/bobb/freepascal/svn/fpcdocs
   rm -rf ${BUILDDIR}
   tar -C ${SVNDIR} -cO --exclude .svn fpcdocs | tar -C ${BUILDDIR%/*} -x
   cd ${BUILDDIR}
   make htmlinstall PP=/usr/bin/ppc386

With the same script, current svn docs start building OK, but bomb out with:

   Appendix C.
   (./messages.inc
   No file user.4tc
   [467]

   LaTeX Warning: Reference `option:Ch' on page 468 undefined on input line 45.

   [468]

   ! LaTeX Error: Command \item invalid in math mode.

   See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
   Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
    ...                                              
                                               
   l.120 \item
            [Error: Illegal enum minimum-size specifier "arg1"]
   ?

Running "make html" gives exactly the same result.
Running "make pdf" fails similarly, with:
   l.120 ...legal enum minimum-size specifier "arg1"]
Running make txt succeeds (but that's not what I want).

Is this fixable?  Is it just a temporary "indisposition" of the fpdocs svn?

Thanks,

Bob Barry
