This sometimes happens because of the make process. Files are broken but 
have a current timestamp. Make thinks they are current and doesn't try 
to rebuild them. I often find a "make clean" helps by gettingt rid of 
the broken pieces. Then, you can reupdate and build the docs.

FWIW, I did a make clean and can build the US books.
