$ sudo make installmandocs
  GEN     Documentation/DocBook//v4l2.xml
find Documentation/DocBook/man -name '*.9' | xargs gzip -f
mkdir -p /usr/local/man/man9/
install Documentation/DocBook/man/*.9.gz /usr/local/man/man9/
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'installmandocs'.  Stop.
Makefile:1359: recipe for target 'installmandocs' failed
make: *** [installmandocs] Error 2


The "*** No rule to make target 'installmandocs'. Stop." error is
generated for Documentation/kdbus/Makefile. The other man pages still
install fine.

(That "GEN     Documentation/DocBook//v4l2.xml" line might be an
unrelated issue. It's from the 'mandocs' prerequisite and shows up even
when the pages are already built.)
