One of the tools (dman, IIRC) requires the docs to be built, and since
the docs are independent of 32/64-bit, they're built during the 32-bit
pass (which you skipped).

I've decided I'm going to add proper support for 32-bit-only and
64-bit-only via optional cmdline flags. That should make a lot of
things easier and help mitigate difficulties with multilib.
