The requirements for proper building of front end manuals are (mostly)
documented in sourcebuild.texi:
* In Make-lang.in, ada.info, ada.install-info and ada.dvi targets must be
present, with appropriate rules and dependencies. The ada.install-info
target must allow for the info files not to be present.
* Info files must be included in release tarballs. The easiest way of
achieving this is for the build to generate them in the source directory;
otherwise, commands must be added to gcc_release to move them to the
source directory (as is done with compiled message catalogs).
* To work with update_web_docs, all generated Texinfo files that are parts
of manuals to be made available online must be checked into CVS.
