I would use "make -n" in the doc directory (the actual commands are echoed, and
does not necessarily halt with the one which is the immediate problem).  You
will probably have to supply the various assignments to make it work (e.g.,
"make prefix=foo -n").  In that case I get the invocation parameters from using
"make -n" in the parent directory.
