This concerns the stand-alone version of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/texi/elisp.texi.tar.gz>

The README file claims:
   * This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
   ** To create a DVI file with a sorted index, run `make elisp.dvi'.
   ** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run `make info'.

However, the Makefile is not functional:

$ tar xf elisp.texi.tar.gz 
$ cd lispref
$ make info
make: *** No rule to make target `/home/cyd/pretest/emacs-23.2/doc/lispref/abbrevs.texi', needed by `../../info/elisp'.  Stop.
$ make elisp.dvi
make: *** No rule to make target `/home/cyd/pretest/emacs-23.2/doc/lispref/abbrevs.texi', needed by `elisp.dvi'.  Stop.
$ make elisp.pdf
make: *** No rule to make target `/home/cyd/pretest/emacs-23.2/doc/lispref/abbrevs.texi', needed by `elisp.pdf'.  Stop.
