Got that first trying to build 12.2.0 on Fedora 39 (beta):
config.status: creating t/wrap/automake-1.15
GEN bin/automake
GEN bin/aclocal
GEN t/ax/shell-no-trail-bslash
GEN t/ax/cc-no-c-o
GEN runtest
GEN doc/aclocal.1
GEN doc/automake.1
GEN lib/Automake/Config.pm
GEN doc/aclocal-1.15.1
help2man: can't get `--help' info from aclocal-1.15
Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr
make: *** [Makefile:3687: doc/aclocal-1.15.1] Error 2
Now trying to install help2man that was not installed.

Not so simple... still having this issue after installing help2man:
config.status: creating t/wrap/automake-1.15
GEN bin/automake
GEN bin/aclocal
GEN t/ax/shell-no-trail-bslash
GEN t/ax/cc-no-c-o
GEN runtest
GEN doc/aclocal.1
GEN doc/automake.1
GEN lib/Automake/Config.pm
GEN doc/aclocal-1.15.1
help2man: can't get `--help' info from aclocal-1.15
Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr
make: *** [Makefile:3687: doc/aclocal-1.15.1] Error 2
root@fedora:/home/paul/Téléchargements/build-djgpp-master1# help2man
`help2man' generates a man page out of `--help' and `--version' output.
Usage: help2man [OPTION]... EXECUTABLE
-n, --name=STRING description for the NAME paragraph
-s, --section=SECTION section number for manual page (1, 6, 8)
-m, --manual=TEXT name of manual (User Commands, ...)
-S, --source=TEXT source of program (FSF, Debian, ...)
-L, --locale=STRING select locale (default "C")
-i, --include=FILE include material from `FILE'
-I, --opt-include=FILE include material from `FILE' if it exists
-o, --output=FILE send output to `FILE'
-p, --info-page=TEXT name of Texinfo manual
-N, --no-info suppress pointer to Texinfo manual
-l, --libtool exclude the `lt-' from the program name
--help print this help, then exit
--version print version number, then exit
EXECUTABLE should accept `--help' and `--version' options and produce output on
stdout although alternatives may be specified using:
-h, --help-option=STRING help option string
-v, --version-option=STRING version option string
--version-string=STRING version string
--no-discard-stderr include stderr when parsing option output
