I posted back but it must not have gotten through.

_Exit.def was empty for me when "make pdf" failed. I removed it
by hand and did another make and it succeeded. On another run,
there was another .def file which was empty.

I have had a mix of make pdf's working and not working. That
seems to be the common failure point. But it is intermittent
in my runs.

I wonder if there is a dependency problem or some other
odd issue which would cause this.

When I did a "make info pdf", it seemed to work more reliably.

It really looks like a dependency issue of some sort.
