I found the solution. It was my fault, sorry for the noise.

The problem was: doc Makefiles (doc.xml.mk) use the
<command>sort</command> to keep things sorted when generating
mirrors.xml and it only will work correctly if the proper (language)
encoding is set. It is derived from the name of parent of share/sgml (as
a langcode). I checked out the files to build from a p4 depot and I had
share/sgml in a directory named "docproj_hu" (and it is not a langcode :)).

I renamed it to "hu_HU.ISO8859-2" and it worked perfectly.


Sorry,
-pgj
