Can you try
        cd docs
        latex src/user.tex
? Or edit docs/Makefile to remove that ">/dev/null". If you do that do
you get some more information about what is hanging?

Does running "ps axf" or perhaps strac()ing the latex process give any
hints as to what has blocked?

It's a bug that it does this (either in Xen or elsewhere). However I've
never heard of such a thing so I think we'll need your help tracking it
down.

Normally, yes, for one thing the xen.org automated test system runs
Squeeze so all the trees are regularly compiled in that environment.
