This breaks the build (you've inserted this text outside a comment).
Also, shouldn't there be a regeneration of errno.texi?

Mmm, actually that was the contrary. And the script to regenerate these
was emitting an absolute path. I have now fixed these and regenerated
every errno things.
It seems at push time I introduced spurious merge commits, I probably
missed a rebased to avoid it, sorry about that.
