It's the same problem that has bugged me too often when making world.
Undefine your PRINTER environment variable. Or otherwise put something
like:
	PRINTER=	ascii

in your /etc/make.conf

It's only too bad that the system build uses a variable that is also used
by the lpr-family programs for everyday work :-( It would be much
better to use a variable something like 'DOCS_FORMAT' for the purpose
of formatting the documents.
