This is an error I got:

openjade:postgres.sgml:5:55:W: cannot generate system identifier
for public text "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.2//EN"

You don't have Docbook 4.2 installed or it isn't being found. That is
attempting to build HEAD, not 7.4.X, which uses docbook 3.2, I think.
What I don't understand is why the official developer build can build
HTML.

I just checked out REL 7.4.X and got:

$ gmake postgres.pdf
LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl/modular/bin/collateindex.pl -f -g -o
bookindex.sgml -N
{ \
echo "<!entity version \"7.4.1\">"; \
echo "<!entity majorversion \"`expr 7.4.1 :
'\([0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\)'`\">"; \
} >version.sgml
/usr/bin/perl ./mk_feature_tables.pl YES
../../../src/backend/catalog/sql_feature_packages.txt
../../../src/backend/catalog/sql_features.txt > features-supported.sgml
/usr/bin/perl ./mk_feature_tables.pl NO
../../../src/backend/catalog/sql_feature_packages.txt
../../../src/backend/catalog/sql_features.txt >
features-unsupported.sgml
openjade -D . -c /usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl/modular/catalog -d
stylesheet.dsl -t tex -V tex-backend -i output-print -V texpdf-output -o
postgres.tex-pdf postgres.sgml

and I see the errors you see. Those look like missing index entries
generated by LaTeX. Usually you have to run latex 3 times to get all
the index entries fixed, but rerunning the gmake doesn't seem to help.

Basically, I think if you fixed the final error, the build would
complete and you could re-run the gmake a few times more to remove the
warnings.
