This is a problem with the Makefile shipped with Python 2.3.4. It has been fixed in 2.4. You can either install mkhowto as described in http://docs.python.org/doc/tools-internal.html, or uncomment this line:

MKHOWTO= TEXINPUTS=$(TEXINPUTS) $(PYTHON)

$(PWD)/tools/mkhowto

and comment this line:

MKHOWTO=   TEXINPUTS=$(TEXINPUTS) mkhowto
