No. If I was being naughty, I'd say "don't run cgen; let make do it
when needed". When you copy/rename an existing target, the Makefiles
will contain the appropriate constructs to run cgen.

An important thing to understand is that CGEN is only able to automate
the few roughly "table-driven" portions of the porting process. A lot
of hand-written gas/bfd/ld/simulator code is still needed, little of
which is cgen-specific and therefore not really appropriate for
documentation here.
