The xserver requires the generated html from doxygen to be included in
the tarball. If I recall correctly, the makefiles dependencies will
attempt to generate the html files at distribution time, regardless of
the configure options. I think this is by design, as to ensure the
content of the tarball is the same, regardless of who creates it and
from which platform it is created. 

In the last path I did on master
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=03ea0b7726487b96df73936518da73d023e51334
I had tested those various scenarios and worked correctly. This was
after 1.9.99.901. You should be able to create a tarball that includes
the generated html files. This is just around the timeframe where the
doc options changed as a result of the overall doc book xml conversion.
Check the configure options that are in effect in 1.9.99.901, you may
have to use --enable-builddocs in order to create a tarball.
