See ./configure --help | grep doc

Passing --disable-gtk-doc to configure or autogen.sh should do the
trick. For older versions (not git master) you'll also want --disable-
docbook.

If you just want to finish your build without running autogen etc.
again you can also edit the top-level "Makefile" and remove the docs
subdir from the "SUBDIRS = " assignment line in there and then run
'make' again.
