Weird.

What about after 'make distclean'?  (Which would require ./configure
again, so would probably fail again.)

Could it be the '$<' in:

xmlroff.fo:	xmlroff.xml ../libfo-compat.xsl
	xsltproc http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl $< > xmlroff.tmp
	xsltproc ../libfo-compat.xsl xmlroff.tmp > xmlroff.fo
	rm -f xmlroff.tmp

I'd expect it to work with gmake since that's what I use and I haven't
had any problems.

The way that it fails for you only on the first run is puzzling.
