I found this message related to the same problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unison/+bug/949895

it's obviously a bug in unison 2.40.63 (manual should occur in file `string.ml' after compiling and building the docs but this file is never changed from the initial empty template). the bug is fixed in 2.40.65: I downloaded that version from the unison home page and -- after enforcing UISTYLE=text in the Makefiles -- this compiles cleanly including the manual. so, apparently, the fix is to upgrade to 2.40.65.

regards, joerg
