I'm _still_ running the older version of lilydev, but with all the patches.
It's really quite an odd problem: the recipe should be in
texinfo-rules.make:

$(outdir)/%.texi: $(src-dir)/%.texi
 cp -p $< $@

But when I put a warning in that recipe, I don't get it on the errored
language.

I'm gonna nuke the whole git directory and start from scratch.  If that
doesn't work, I'll find out what the problem is.

I've just done a new doc build with no problems (I didn't see this thread until 
now).

@Phil you should use the out of tree 'build' dir method, it's really convenient 
- see the CG.
