What linux to use for GUB builds? (make lilypond runs into KeyError: 'glibc-doc' when using stock LilyDev 4.1)

[Hans Aikema]

I would like to try building a mac binary (using GUB’s cross platform building 
capabilities) with the current ghostscript (a version has long been released 
that is supposed to fix the PNG transparency issue that I ran into for Lilypond 
2.19.55 and up). However I can’t seem to get a proper GUB environment up and 
running. As long as I don’t get GUB building the stock Lilypond I don’t want to 
start experimenting to get the current ghostscript in and see if that results 
in a proper build and a fix for the transparency issue.

As per 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/contributor/notes-on-builds-with-gub
 I started off with a LilyDev 4.1 (Running in a VMWare VM configured for Debian 
8.x)

git clone git://github.com/gperciva/gub.git
cd gub
make bootstrap

all fine… but then (after getting regtests for unstable and touching 
tegtests/ignore)

make LILYPOND_BRANCH=release/unstable lilypond

runs into
