It sounds like a tool that's run by config.status is failing.
You should be able to identify the culprit by running these commands:

  touch man/Makefile.in
  make -C man SHELL='/bin/sh -x'

(That assumes Makefile already contains this line:
SHELL = /bin/sh
If SHELL has some other value, use that value in place of `/bin/sh' above)
