Unfortunately it is a little bit more complicated.  I have added this
entry to PROBLEMS:

  (xsltproc) If the xsltproc binary is present but chokes on the
  documentation XML written by the compiler, then building the compiler
  fails.  A workaround is to do disable xsltproc manually.
  To do this, change the xsltproc entry in rsrc/OOC/oo2crc.xml.mk to 

    <set name='xsltproc'>no</set>

  _after_ running configure, but _before_ running make.
