 You could do a plain "make" first, and then make install. If make install
 fails in docs, "touch" the files make fails on and try make install again.

 You're using HP-UX.

 Serious, HP's make tool seems to have very unique ideas about Makefiles.
 I have two suggestions:

 - either install sgml-tools (version 1.x; 1.0.9 was the last in that series,
   I think); this shouldn't really be necessary because the files make tries
   to generate should already be in the distribution
 - and/or install GNU make; some people will disagree with me, but HP's make
   is just another example of dumbed-down, near-unusable vendor tools (Sun's
   patch is another one, for that matter)
