I found the problem (I think).  See below:

--- Cut Here ---
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/username/Build/bash-5.3-rc2/doc'
rm -f bashref.info
makeinfo --no-split -I../lib/readline/doc ./bashref.texi
make[1]: makeinfo: Command not found
Makefile:181: recipe for target 'bashref.info' failed
make[1]: *** [bashref.info] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/username/Build/bash-5.3-rc2/doc'
Makefile:917: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: [install] Error 2 (ignored)
( cd ./builtins ; make  DESTDIR= install )
--- Cut Here ---

I assume that had this step succeeded, it would have then copied stuff to the 
"man1"
directory.  The fact that this error is ignored and the "make install" 
continues, is
what threw me off (this step is buried in the middle of the whole "make install"
terminal chatter - luckily, I was running this under "tmux" and was able to 
scroll way
back and check it).

So, how to fix this?

Note: I think I have done this successfully in the past (with bash "make 
install", so
I assume the "makeinfo" thing is new.
