Local error.  Before I noticed that cross2 used its own BASEDIR, I
had set my symlink to the book to point to a cross2 directory in the
area from where I locally serve the books (similar to what I'd been
doing for cross-chap5).

I removed that directory because the symlink had the wrong name for
what is now in the BASEDIR of cross2, but I did not recreate the
(regular) symlink pointing to my normal LFS directory (I thought I
had done that).

So, BASEDIR was a dangling symlink to a non-existent directory.

Sorry for the noise.
