I didn't look closely enough to see if a command line option was
available, but I did notice the "allowextra=false" and
"allowmissing=false" variables in the src/distrib/sets/checkflist
script.  When I changed these both the value of "true", I did manage to
get the sets built, but the overall build continued to grumble about
failing.  I've not yet gotten around to verifying that the sets contents
are identical to the $DESTDIR contents.

Noted.
