Looks to me like a missing TeX-related dependency.  (A missing font,
maybe?)

Check your build directory--are all 42 executable programs present?

$ find . -maxdepth 1 -perm -0001 -and -not -type d | wc -l
42

(This includes config.status and test-groff, which don't get installed.)

If they are, then the scenario you posited:

prog: prog.c prog.tex

...is not the case.

"All the usual stuff" includes the generated forms of groff's Texinfo
manual, and the build is failing because TeX is failing.

I see nothing else amiss.
