Comment (by Joel Sherrill):

 FWIW I tried two CentOS 7 computers with Sphinx 1.8. Neither gets anywhere
 close to this point. Neither even creates a Makefile in the build tree.
 They both fail immediately with this:

 {{{

 path=/home/joel/rtems-work/rtems-docs/user, is_copy=True,

 }}}

 Both have a texlive install from around 20 Nov 2018. There is nothing much
 in the build/ directory after running waf configure and waf.

 {{{
 [joel at devel rtems-docs]$ find build -type f

 }}}
