For the last few days, I've noticed that incremental builds (on 
GNU/Linux) rebuild the Lisp reference manual every time, even if nothing 
changed at all. This is a pain since it takes around 15s each time, when 
a no-op incremental build should be (close to) instantaneous. Is anyone 
else seeing this?

I can confirm this with a fresh checkout and then doing the following:

   autoreconf -fi
   ./configure
   make
   make

I always see something like the following output:

   make actual-all || make advice-on-failure make-target=all exit-status=$?
   make[1]: Entering directory '/home/jim/src/emacstest'
   make -C lib all
   make -C doc/lispref info
   make -C doc/lispintro info
   make[2]: Entering directory '/home/jim/src/emacstest/doc/lispref'
     GEN      ../../info/elisp.info
   make -C doc/emacs info
   make[2]: Entering directory '/home/jim/src/emacstest/doc/lispintro'
   make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'info'.
   ...
