Yes, as of GCC 14. I posted the objectives here: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-November/636060.html > Why does it have to be called by hand then rather than > being a make dependency? IIRC, the idea is: (a) to avoid requiring Python 3 as a build dependency, and (b) to avoid requiring the HTML docs to be built before gcc's code can be built since missing a few URLs is a relatively minor issue that we don't want to complicate the build for. Hence we decided to check for it in CI instead. Hope the trade-off sounds reasonable Dave
