Can you try instead to just prepend a - at the beginning of the line?

	-$(MAKEHTML) ....

Or better yet, for a properly upstreamable solution, a --enable-doc
option to explicitly enable or disable the doc. Or something that
detects if makeinfo is available, and if it isn't, that doesn't try to
generate the documentation.

Thanks,

Thomas
