investigating this, it looks like this is fallout from:

2003-10-20  Kelley Cook  <kcook@gcc.gnu.org>

        * Makefile.in: Get parsedir and docobjdir from configure.
        * configure.in: Recogonize --enable-generated-files-in-srcdir.
        Pass along parsedir and docobjdir.
        * configure: Regenerate.
        * doc/install.texi: Document --enable-generated-files-in-srcdir.


that patch ultimately causes docobjdir to be set to a dir in the obj tree
if --enable-generated-files-in-srcdir isn't set.  But it doesn't do anything
to create the manual pages there if the manual-page-generation tools
aren't up to date.

(BTW, I think it's **great** that the files won't be generated in the source
directory any more, but IMO it should still be possible to build/install GCC
without being able to regen all generated files.)
