Dunno. What does it usually do in such cases? Shouldn't the link show the
(external) file name, if it is a different file/manual: `(make)Make' or some
such?

Feel free to close the bug if I'm mistaken that this is a bug.

(ccing the bug list - dunno whether you forgot to do that or meant to just reply
to me)
