I always use

        cd doc ; make pdf

and that works flawlessly for me. I have never used `make -C doc/ pdf'
and I don't know why that fails. In fact, it works just fine for me too
(Ubuntu 16.04).

Looking at your log, it looks like you're not getting the texinfo.tex
file distributed with gawk but a rather older one.

I'm adding the texinfo list, maybe they can shed some light.

Can you just change your procedure to use 'cd doc; make pdf' ?

Or can you help determine why it's not working? Especially since it
does work for me...

Any fix would likely just be in git since this is the first time
such an issue has ever been raised.

Thanks,

Arnold
