First, "thank you" for closing this bug before even discussing it. Such
ignorance is the best way to shy bug reporters away. It takes quite some time
to report quality bugs, after all.

Looking at Documentation/GNUmakefile line 37ff, the case of installing
documentation without having -make installed is explicitely handled.
And this is a very important feature. Because when packaging stuff for
distribution, there is no way to install parts of a package before building
the other parts.
It shouldn't be too difficult to set up a makefile which sources makefile
fragments from the current directory or DESTDIR / --prefix instead of the
system-installed one. Just the assumption the fragments are installed
system-wide is problematic.
Not to mention this highly unusual requirement isn't mentioned in INSTALL at
all.
