As I said in the original bug report, the message is
links -no-home -dump TODO-html/t1.htm >TODO.txt
ELinks: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [TODO.txt] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/sgml2x-1.0.0'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2
It's easy to reproduce this just by using pbuilder with a standard
setup (I just retried it after updating my base.tgz).

This fixes the </dev/null case, but not the pbuilder case. If I add
</dev/null as well as the -eval flag, the package builds successfully
under pbuilder.
But that's just a workaround. If the program is running in -dump
mode, it should just be skipping all the initialization which has to
do with user interaction.
By the way, this bug is now also affecting jargon-text.
