Avoid having a directory as a prerequisite in doc Makefiles. It does not play well with time-stamping. * doc/misc/Makefile.in ($(infodir)): Delete rule. (mkinfodir): New. Use it in all the info rules, rather than depending on infodir. * doc/lispref/Makefile.in ($(infodir)): Delete rule. (mkinfodir): New. ($(infodir)/elisp): Use $mkinfodir instead of infodir. * doc/lispintro/Makefile.in ($(infodir)): Delete rule. (mkinfodir): New. ($(infodir)/eintr): Use $mkinfodir instead of infodir. * doc/emacs/Makefile.in ($(infodir)): Delete rule. (mkinfodir): New. ($(infodir)/emacs): Use $mkinfodir instead of infodir.
