If in doubt, always try to re-run 'autogen.sh'.

Also, try
	grep valid Makefile
to check/verify the validate target. The output should contain
	xml/stamp-%-valid: xml/%.xml.
If it does, the target's prerequisite (xml/no.xml) cannot be built. Then 
try
	grep ^xml/ Makefile
which should give you
	xml/%.xml: src/gimp.xml stylesheets/profile.xsl $(XML_FILES).

Maybe there are some <CR> chars and your "make" can't handle them?
	cat -v Makefile
will show you (trailing ^M's?).
