When building bpf selftests like
make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf -j20
I hit the following errors:
...

I am using:
-bash-4.4$ rst2man --version
rst2man (Docutils 0.11 [repository], Python 2.7.5, on linux2)
-bash-4.4$
The Makefile generated final .rst file (e.g., bpftool-cgroup.rst) looks like
...

The rst2man generated .8 file looks like

Looks like that particular version of rst2man prefers to have actual new line
instead of \n.
Since `echo -e` may not be available in some environment, let us use `printf`.
Format string "%b" is used for `printf` to ensure all escape characters are
interpretted properly.
