Description

I'm trying to compile docbook XSL 1.69.1, however, xsltc fails with:

Compiler errors:
Syntax error in '* or $generate.index != 0'.
file:/usr/apps/docbook/xsl/1.69.1/xhtml/autotoc.xsl: line 294: Error parsing XPath expression '* or $generate.index != 0'.
file:/usr/apps/docbook/xsl/1.69.1/xhtml/autotoc.xsl: line 294: Required attribute 'test' is missing.
Syntax error in '* or $generate.index != 0'.
file:/usr/apps/docbook/xsl/1.69.1/xhtml/autotoc.xsl: line 401: Error parsing XPath expression '* or $generate.index != 0'.
file:/usr/apps/docbook/xsl/1.69.1/xhtml/autotoc.xsl: line 401: Required attribute 'test' is missing.

But the test attributes are there (e.g. autotoc.xsl):
294: <xsl:if test="* or $generate.index != 0">
...

But transformation with the "normal" processor, which uses this template as well works.
