This also breaks plain builds of r-devel. 

Subdir make is such a pain! Top level Makefile has

SUBDIRS = m4 tools doc etc share src tests
...
        @for d in $(SUBDIRS); do \
          (cd $${d} && $(MAKE) R) || exit 1; \
        done

so building something in doc that relies on something built in src ends badly. Preliminary fiddling indicates that it might work to move doc after src in SUBDIRS, but the reverse (src to before doc) did not.
