Use of Sphinx should have been limited to maintainer mode.  While testing here (with Sphinx installed) I see the concerning issue that the Sphinx documentation targets are executed again under 'make install', which is often/normally run as root.  The 'make install' step should only be installing files which were already produced during the 'make' state. It is not clear why 'make install' is re-doing the steps already done by 'make'.

This seems like a security issue.

I did:

    make clean

    make -j 8

    make install
