It looks like Sun's make does not understand the "$<" construct, which
I find really strange as the man page of make mentions it
(mysteriously).  It might be that it only supports "$<" in pattern
rules, tho.

A fix is to replace the rule with

guile-procedures.txt: guile-procedures.texi
        rm -f $@
        makeinfo --force -o $@ guile-procedures.texi || test -f $@

I have done so in CVS already.

Thanks for the report!
