Hi,
got this error message recently (not really reproducible) while building
texinfo-4.11 in parallel - actually it was during 'gmake install -j4':

I think this must be because of these lines in info/Makefile:
----
generated_sources = doc.c key.c funs.h
doc.c: key.c
key.c: funs.h
...
$(generated_sources): makedoc$(EXEEXT) $(cmd_sources)
rm -f $(generated_sources)
$(top_builddir)/$(native_tools)/info/makedoc $(cmd_sources)
----
Attached patch should fix this.
Thanks!
