OK -as remarked in my previous mail patchy-merge fails with:

Success:  nice make test -j9 CPU_COUNT=9
*** FAILED BUILD ***
nice make doc -j9 CPU_COUNT=9
Previous good commit: bf7bb9a675ece83b468c84b499b1546db0f995e6
Current broken commit: ff5127b57881478bc27ea3321e473c5d0d78d983

I currently have no idea why this is. I've pulled staging to a clean distro 
and make doc runs fine.  It's too late for me to do anything tonight and I'm 
working tomorrow, so it'll be tomorrow evening until I can contribute again. 
If anyone can see what's happening in the meantime, I'd appreciate it.  For 
me, I'll next concentrate on better diagnostics from patchy-staging - I 
can't see why it failed.
