An example for recursive subdirectories in make.info-2 as distributed
with make-3.79.1 is incorrectly generated from the make.texifo file.
The example is,


     SUBDIRS = foo bar baz
     
     .PHONY: subdirs $(SUBDIRS)
     
     subdirs: $(SUBDIRS)
     
     $(SUBDIRS):
             $(MAKE) -C $ 
     foo: baz

It should be "$(MAKE) -C $@".
I am using makeinfo version 4.2 on Debian unstable and it is correctly
generating make.info-2 from the make.texinfo file.  The make.info-2
being distributed is using version 4.0 (according to the first line).

Of the versions I downloaded make-3.75 does not have this example,
3.78.1, 3.79, and 3.79.1 have the incorrect version.

Possibly upgrading makeinfo on the system that generates the tar.gz
file for distribution is all that is required.
