I think it would be good to track down this bug.  If you just
build lilypond-test, can you follow the makefile rules?  The rules
are spread between GNUmakefile and lilypond.make.  You're correct
that unlocked-doc-export should be run.

I /think/ that the command you want is:

bin/gub --platform=linux-x86 \
  'git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond-test.git?branch=release/unstable

or else maybe just
make -f lilypond.make test

I assume that you have the previous regtest tarball in regtests/ ?

Yes.  But since you completed it once, I doubt that any further
work in GUB would help.


... actually, on further thought, I'm suspecting that there's some
bad commit in git between 2.17.1 and current git.  I would have
expected that to kill the build, though.
