build failure redhat 8

[Sully <st...@yahoo.com>]

I'm having some trouble building on redhat 8, trying to build using 
build war and receive the below error.

I have no problem building on redhat 7.3, and if I copy welcome.xslt to 
the directory it's trying to go to it skips this error and next has a 
fit on page2swf.xsl, if I copy that file over then it works fine until 
the next file that is has trouble with etc. etc. etc. (if it isn't a 
simple solution I'll go through and write down each file that causes my 
build to fail) once I've manually copied all these files to the desired 
location building works without any problem.

I don't believe it's a permissions problem, since I have no problem 
doing the manual copy and welcome.xml has exactly the same permissions 
and it gets copied without any trouble.

<error>

I did a clean checkout of head a few days ago (this problem was 
happening prior to that) and did an update yesterday.

while I'm posting... is there any way to have my email address 
subscribed though not receiving the emails (I prefer reading/posting via 
gmane). I'm subscribed to digest, though that fills up my mailbox if I 
don't delete reasonably often.
