That's a little odd ... zsh.info is *never* rebuilt for me, unless I
explicitly "make install.info" or "(cd Doc; make zsh.info)".

On the other hand, stamp-h.in always gets rebuilt for me, because I use
a build dir separate from the source dir and the rules for the stamp-h.in
target build $(sdir)/stamp-h.in rather than stamp-h.in, so ./stamp-h.in
never gets any newer.

In the interest of trying to fix your bug (the patch below is for mine),
let me ask: Do you have yodl?  If so, is zsh.texi getting rebuilt, too,
or is it just that makeinfo always runs?

If you have GNU make, "make -n -d -s --no-print-directory >& make.out"
and then edit make.out and search for zsh.info -- you should be able to
find what it believes the unsatisfied dependency to be.

(I'll check the following in to sourceforge as soon as I know the article
number.)
