The Python module pyyaml is required to build the docs, but it is only listed in Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt and is therefore missing when Sphinx is installed as a package and not via pip/pypi. Add pyyaml as an optional package for multiple distros to fix building the docs if you prefer to install Sphinx as a package.
