The patch is moving us in the right direction e.g. don't build in the
source directory.

I have only done a cursory review of the patch, but I trust that if
you built it and tested it and nothing broke that it's fine. We can
fix any cosmetic makefile bike-shedding issues at a later date.

Have you reviewed how binutils and gdb do this or are they still
building the manuals in the source tree? I remember fixing html/pdf
builds for all the toolchain projects for CodeSourcery, and I remember
ignoring this issue.

Please check this in on Friday if nobody else disagrees with me :-)

Cheers,
Carlos.
