Sorry, I am not docbook expert -- help from the list please?
I seem to be using:

                        (home)		(kernel.org)
	asciidoc	7.1.2		7.0.2
        xmlto		0.0.18		0.0.18

Hmph.  I suspect (cd blt && tar cf - .) is failing silently.
When built, "make -C templates" creates templates/blt directory
and leaves templates/boilerplates.made file.  Do you have them?

Ah, another possibility.  Does your "cd" say anything
unnecessary even when running scripts, not interactively?  For
example, do you have CDPATH set and _exported_ to the
environment?  CDPATH might be a useful shell variable for
interactive session, but you never want to export it to affect
unsuspecting shell scripts you invoke directly or indirectly.

I see many documents floating on the web that call CDPATH "an
environment variable".  It is a disease X-<.

I have same versions as your (home).

I have templates/blt directory but no boilerplates.made file.

I suppose that could be the problem.  (I do have/use CDPATH.)
I started a new shell that does not have CDPATH and 'make install'
works fine. Thanks.
When CDPATH is set & exported, I don't see any responses from
"cd".

What is CDPATH then?  (other than trouble/disease)
I find it useful (usually :).

What I mean is that it belongs to the "set" command output but
should not be in "printenv" command output.

It is a useful shell variable to help interactive use, but it
causes trouble without benefit when exported to the environment
(breaks scripts you invoke without you knowing).  Calling such
a shell variable "an environment variable" is spreading trouble.

It looks like your docbook installation is broken. You should have an
xml catalog file that translates the url to a local file reference for
the docbook stylesheet. Can you verify the integrity of / reinstall your
docbook package?
