This is all, of course, with sources from git.
If configure contains the line continuation ('\') in AC_CONFIG_FILES,
then we end up with this lovely construct in configure:
"config/Makefile") CONFIG_FILES="$CONFIG_FILES config/Makefile" ;;
"\") CONFIG_FILES="$CONFIG_FILES \" ;;
"doc/Makefile") CONFIG_FILES="$CONFIG_FILES doc/Makefile" ;;
(I tested with configure.ac containing both styles of line-endings and
both with the same result).
If we attempt to make doc, we end up with
make[2]: Entering directory `/gnumake/make/doc'
Updating ./version.texi
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `fdl.texi', needed by `make.info'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/gnumake/make/doc'
Which seems to be very similar to this old bug
