A fresh clone from git goes through bootstrap and configure OK for me but
fails at the make step with:

...
rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc
make.texi:460: warning: node `Preparing' is prev for `Reading' in menu but not
in sectioning
make.texi:6179: warning: node next `Setting' in menu `Appending' and in
sectioning `Conditionalizing' differ
make.texi:6254: warning: node `Appending' is next for `Conditionalizing' in
sectioning but not in menu

make.texi:6254: warning: node `Using Variables' is up for `Conditionalizing'

I don't think this is the right solution, so just present it to give context
about where the problem is, but the make step... gets further for me with:

diff --git a/doc/make.texi b/doc/make.texi
index cb7420d0..90687bde 100644
--- a/doc/make.texi
+++ b/doc/make.texi
@@ -6252,7 +6252,7 @@ As with the @code{shell} function, the exit status of

 @node Conditionalizing
-@section Conditionally Assigning to Variables
+@subsection Conditionally Assigning to Variables
 @cindex ?=
 @cindex ?:=
 @cindex ?::=

It still says:

make.texi:460: warning: node `Preparing' is prev for `Reading' in menu but not
in sectioning

... but that's just a warning, so no longer blocks me.
