I have MANBUILDCAT=yes in my /etc/make.conf. Some of the catpages are
generated during the buildworld, but not for all cat? directories.
The make world cycle seems to generate for example all the catpages
under /usr/share/man/cat?, but it does not generate the ones under
/usr/share/man/en.ISO8859-1/cat?, while these cat? directories are
created. Since my LC_CTYPE is set to de_DE.ISO8859-15 man looks for
the man and catpages in the directory /usr/share/man/en.ISO8859-15,
which is a symlink to /usr/share/man/en.ISO8859-1, but there are not
catpages, so they need to be generated.
