Maybe it does something weird with the automagically generated rules to
make verstion.texi as well, because part of the rules are commented out,
in particular in the generated makefile version.texi should depend on
stamp-vti, but the right hand side of the dependency rule is commented
out, leading to me not getting version.texi built.

The relevant lines from doc/texinfo/Makefile are:


$(srcdir)/version.texi: # $(srcdir)/stamp-vti
  @:
$(srcdir)/stamp-vti: mailutils.texi $(top_srcdir)/configure.in
  @(set `$(SHELL) $(srcdir)/mdate-sh $(srcdir)/mailutils.texi`; \
  echo "@set UPDATED $$1 $$2 $$3"; \
  echo "@set UPDATED-MONTH $$2 $$3"; \
  echo "@set EDITION $(VERSION)"; \
  echo "@set VERSION $(VERSION)") > vti.tmp
  @cmp -s vti.tmp $(srcdir)/version.texi \
    || (echo "Updating $(srcdir)/version.texi"; \
        cp vti.tmp $(srcdir)/version.texi)
  address@hidden -f vti.tmp
  @cp $(srcdir)/version.texi $@


So version.texi doesn't get built. I gather this doesn't happen for you guys?
