Looks like this is on purpose, as this comment in Makefile.in says:

    ## Note that we copy DOC* and then delete DOC
    ## as a workaround for a bug in tar on Ultrix 4.2.

The relevant line of the install-arch-indep commands is this:

    if test "`echo DOC-*`" != "DOC-*"; then rm DOC; fi

and in your case, there's DOC-22.1.50.1, so Make tries to "rm DOC".

Maybe we should use "rm -f" to avoid the error message?
