Thanks for the responses... In $XWINHOME/xc/Imakefile I removed the
"$(DOCSDIR)" variable from the definition of "SUBDIRS":

callisto:bstark$ diff Imakefile Imakefile.original
22c22
<                   programs $(FONTSDIR)
---
>                   programs $(FONTSDIR) $(DOCSDIR)
callisto:bstark$ 

and then I ran "xmkmf -a" in $XWINHOME/xc. "make World" is now running...
