Release tarballs (but not snapshots) currently include the info files and
man pages, via gcc_release running a build with
--enable-generated-files-in-srcdir before building the tarball.
I think they should continue to do so. This means:
(a) --enable-generated-files-in-srcdir needs to cause those files to be
generated in the source directory, as it does at present.
(b) gcc_release, for building a release but not a snapshot, needs to give
an error if Sphinx is missing or too old and so those files weren't built
properly (and thus people running gcc_release to build a release tarball
will need new-enough Sphinx).
(c) It needs to be verified that building and installing from such a
release tarball works even if Sphinx is missing or too old - that is, that
it installs the prebuilt info / man files rather than giving an error or
failing to install them.
Also, but not strictly part of the release issue:
(d) Builds with missing or old Sphinx should work regardless of whether
such files are in the source directory - but if they aren't in the source
directory, the effect of missing or old Sphinx (detected at configure
time) should be to disable building and installing documentation.
