There is some issue with dependencies not being compiled correctly on
the first run.
Before, it actually took 3 runs to build completely. We're still
working out why it happens, but it doesn't have anything to do with
running "make -j3". I run "make -j5" actually.

Cristian fixed the handbook a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps it was
before that. After Cristian's fix, you have to enable it explicitely.

I think that has to do with the createtarball not finding the docs
every time. I've seen that happen once or twice.

See above.

I don't think it's you. Just some changes along the way and maybe
createtarball not working correctly.
