You can write dependencies on e.g. doc/gcc/*.rst (which might be more files than actually are relevant in some cases, if the directory includes some common files shared by some but not all manuals, but should be conservatively safe if you list appropriate directories there), rather than needing to name all the individual files. Doing things with makefile dependencies seems better than relying on what sphinx-build does when rerun unnecessarily (if sphinx-build avoids rebuilding in some cases where the makefiles think a rebuild is needed, that's fine as an optimization). It looks like this makefile integration loses some of the srcinfo / srcman support. That support should stay (be updated for the use of Sphinx) so that release tarballs (as generated by maintainer-scripts/gcc_release, which uses --enable-generated-files-in-srcdir) continue to include man pages / info files (and make sure that, if those files are present in the source directory, then building and installing GCC does install them even when sphinx-build is absent at build/install time). -- Joseph S.
