Currently there is none - the problem is that the build process fails on the
GRASS server and I don't understand why.

Can you successfully build it on your local machine with
make pdfdocs
?

No, it fails for me.

make pdfdocs gives error
~/grass64_release/lib/db/latex$ make
rm -f *.ps *.dvi *.aux *.toc *.idx *.ind *.ilg *.log *.out refman.pdf

Here we need to understand *why* it fails.
