I need some extra information in order to debug this.

- The config.log file and the Makefile from you build directory
- The output of 'make --version' and 'help2man --version'

Are you building from the Git repository or the release tarball?

When you execute make again does it try to rebuild 'doc/guix-daemon.1'
if yes, does it succeed?

Thanks,
