I see in man/Makefile.am that the rule for texindex.1 uses
$(man_rule_bin) in its recipe, which defaults, via $(man_rule_0), to
trying to build the program under "util/". That could be the problem.
Maybe it was still working for me because I still had a
"util/texindex" file lying around. I'll investigate this.
