It looks like the sort of thing I'd expect to see.

One thing I don't expect to see for a first cut or an nth cut is
perfection.  Stuff in corner cases is going to be broken.  That's the
nature of big changes.  We'll fix them as we notice them.

The manpages.mk errors are from the rule in the Makefile that tries to
rebuild manpages.mk.  That's why touching it helps, since it keeps the
Makefile from trying to rebuild it.

What do you think is your next step?
