That's not the actual error (which happened several lines before where 
you started pasting).

I'm not sure what's going on, but I will add that I have sometimes seen 
a 'make -j2' failure when the makefile gets to the point of generating 
todo.html.  I'm not sure where the missing make dependency is, but 
hopefully next time someone sees it, and accurately reports it, we can 
patch docs/Makefile.am to avoid these parallel make problems.

In the meantime, 'make -C docs' without -j should get you past this issue.
