Here's some more analysis.

In gcc gcc-3_3-branch, fastjar/Makefile.am has this rule:

  $(srcdir)/grepjar.1: $(srcdir)/fastjar.texi
        -$(TEXI2POD) -D grepjar < $(srcdir)/fastjar.texi > grepjar.pod
        -($(POD2MAN) --section=1 grepjar.pod > grepjar.1.T$$$$ && \
                mv -f grepjar.1.T$$$$ $(srcdir)/grepjar.1) || \
                (rm -f grepjar.1.T$$$$ && exit 1)
        -rm -f grepjar.pod

In gcc gcc-3_4-branch, fastjar/Makefile.am has these rules:

  %.1: %.pod
        -($(POD2MAN) --section=1 $< > $(@).T$$$$ && \
                mv -f $(@).T$$$$ $@) || \
                (rm -f $(@).T$$$$ && exit 1)

  .INTERMEDIATE: jar.pod grepjar.pod

  jar.pod: $(srcdir)/fastjar.texi
        -$(TEXI2POD) -D jar $< > $@

  grepjar.pod: $(srcdir)/fastjar.texi
        -$(TEXI2POD) -D grepjar $< > $@

In gcc gcc-3_3-branch, the files jar.1 and grepjar.1 are created in the source
tree.  So when a release is made, these files are present in the tarball.

In gcc gcc-3_4-branch, the files jar.1 and grepjar.1 are created in the build
tree.  So when a release is made, these files are not present in the tarball.

You can see this by unpacking the pristine tarballs, gcc-3.3.3.tar.bz2 and
gcc-3.4.0-20040406.tar.bz2, and doing "ls -ltr" in the gcc/fastjar/ subdirectory.

So with gcc 3.4.0-20040406, jar.1 and grepjar.1 are built by the user, which
requires perl and pod2man.  I have perl installed on my host
(hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11), but I don't have pod2man, and that is the failure at
the end of install.log.

This change in fastjar/Makefile.am was made by Kelley Cook on 2003-10-30,
as part of the fix for PR gcc/10996.  Have a look at 10996; it's illuminating.
