I haven't said that they break the build.

If I have understood, they were generated by the build out of tree 
(OOT). In rev.101874 there were similar changes (all in docs) *which* 
caused the break in the bootstrap OOT.

In some ways, the 'ignored' errors were the basis of the upcoming fatal 
ones. Perhaps, asking 'why I got these ignored?' could avoid the break 
in r101874: the recent changes in docs did not take into account for 
bootstrap OOT.

Ciao,
Angelo.
