Ok, never mind.  I think I see what the problem is.  The doc Makefile
depends on the variables utils_source and cygwin_source which were
originally set in winsup/Makefile.common.  The latest round of changes
to the build systems removed these variables, but the doc Makefile.in
wasn't changed accordingly.  I'll see that I fix that and then create
new docs for our documentation web site.

Sorry for the unneeded panic :)
