Sorry, I was wrong. I didn't look carefully enough.
What happens, is "make" returning with an error, which causes building
to abort:
...
Doing info in libiberty

WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it
if
you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious
call might also be the consequence of using a buggy
`make' (AIX,
DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site.
