That means you have the DocBook tools installed but don’t have the DocBook XSL 
stylesheets installed, so it has to fetch them over the Internet.  Those 
Internet servers are heavily overloaded because of all the *other* users with 
the same system misconfiguration you have.

Solution: install the docbook-xsl package.

Tip: In the future, you can debug problems like this by adding --nonet to the 
xsltproc command.  That prevents it from trying to download XSL files and such 
from the Internet, so that if you are missing local copies, it fails fast.  
IMHO that flag should be the default in the stock Makefiles.
