Why can't I build PostgreSQL docbook docs?

I need to build PostgreSQL CVS-HEAD docs. To get them you just fetch:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot login
(any, but not empty, password)

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.postgresql.org:2401/projects/cvsroot co pgsql

After getting pgsql, I did:

./configure \
        --prefix=/home/pgdba/work \
        --with-pgport=5850 \
        --with-gnu-ld

(options are not really important).

At the end of configure output it shows:

...
checking for onsgmls... onsgmls
checking for openjade... no
checking for jade... jade
checking for DocBook V4.2... no
checking for DocBook stylesheets... no
checking for collateindex.pl... no
checking for xsltproc... xsltproc
checking for osx... osx
...

And this is despite the fact that I do have docbook v4.2:

=> pacman -Q | grep -i docbook
docbook-sgml 4.2-1
docbook-xml 4.5-3
docbook-xsl 1.74.0-1
docbook2x 0.8.8-7

I described the problem with more details on http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-ge … g00325.php - there was also some short lived discussion which ended with suggestion to report bug in docbook packages in arch.

Is there any way to build those docs? Can anyone with greater knowledge of arch look at the problem?
