I can reproduce this error message when setting a wrong path in
XML_CATALOG_FILES; it is likely that your XML catalogs are not located
in /etc/xml/catalog.  I do not understand why this variable is set,
xsltproc should normally know about system catalogs. You can try to
remove all lines setting this variable in share/po4a-build.
