Hi,

With today's linux-next, when I do 'make O=DOC1 htmldocs', I get:

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/rdunlap/lnx/repo/linux-next/DOC1'

File "/usr/bin/sphinx-build", line 1
ELF
SyntaxError: source code cannot contain null bytes
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/rdunlap/lnx/repo/linux-next/DOC1'

where the "ELF" line contains some binary bytes that are not shown
via copy/paste. Here they are in hex in case that might help:

7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 0a .ELF....

I don't see what is causing this, so I am using the previous day's
linux-next for Documentation testing etc...

Any ideas/suggestions appreciated.
