Hello Ben,
This seems to be a misunderstanding. The docs under the src/release are
not supposed to be built during "make buildworld" ("make installworld"
does not build anything anyway.) Nor are are they supposed to build just by
typing "make" in one of the directories. (In fact, much of the FreeBSD
src tree does not work that way.)
The files under src/release are part of the FreeBSD Documentation
Project, and require special tools to build; those tools are not part of
the src tree. There are also other docs that get installed under
/usr/share/doc, but those are also not part of the base system.
For more information on the documentation set and on how to build them, see
http://www.freebsd.org/docproj
I believe this PR can be closed.
