If I understand the Makefiles correctly, texti2pod.pl is supposed to run first to generate .pod files from binutils.texi and then, pod2man should be generating the final manual pages. In addition to the patch, I needed to remove the empty .1 man files that come with the distribution in post-patch. Otherwise the Makefile do not generate them. Tested in 12.2 amd64. Build testing @work for other environments (may take a while) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
