Yeah, the PDF toolchain is very fragile. Yet, I'm pretty sure I was able
to build PDF in the past without noticing the problems fixed by patches
1 and 2. Maybe the bugs has to do with some specific incompatibility with
toolchain versions.

What Sphinx version are you using?

It is too late now, but tomorrow I'll test with a few Spinx versions
and see if PDF builds equally well with them.

For the media and EDAC changes (patches 3 and 4), once I test it,
feel free to add my ack and send via your tree:

Actually, despite any "errors", usually it produces the PDF files.
I have a robot building just the media documentation, daily basis,
from media development tree, at:
	https://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis-new/media.pdf

The robot is using Sphinx 1.4.8 version.
