Thanks everyone.  If I get the time I will try to figure out what is
going wrong.  Otherwise I'll have to wait for the package maintainers to
figure it out.

>From what I've looked thru so far the only patches that they apply are
for builing in gentoo's environment and nothing gnucash specific.  If
gnucash-desin was part of the doc's, the ebuild was using the same
docs-1.8.5 tarball that builds with gnucash-1.8.11.  Which I tried again
and it built completely again.
