Are you working with somebody's modified version of the PG
distribution? The commands generated by "make man" look nothing
like that here:
$ make man
make -C doc man
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/postgres/REL_18/pgsql/doc'
make -C src man
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/postgres/REL_18/pgsql/doc/src'
make -C sgml man
make[3]: Entering directory '/home/postgres/REL_18/pgsql/doc/src/sgml'
{ \
echo "<!ENTITY version \"18.2\">"; \
echo "<!ENTITY majorversion \"18\">"; \
} > version.sgml

It's that way for quite a few versions before v18, too.
