I've searched for the string "Cannot find top" in the stylesheets and
couldn't find it. I even grepped the complete SVN repository with the
same result. So I guess it might be somewhere in your Makefiles or Perl
scripts.

To debug it further, grep/search for this string in your build
mechanics. Maybe you can locate it there. Another option could be to
try remake[1] instead of make. It's an "improved error reporting,
tracing, and a debugger for make". Frank, my colleague, uses it to
debug his Makefiles. The output is a bit... challenging to read, but it
could give you some important hints.

Hope this helps. :)
