Hi,

building the pdf manuals fails for eglibc-2.16 in the step
which copies the finished docs.  This is the change
I used to make the build succeed:


The question is which version of eglibc fixed the manual build location,
and how to apply this change in ct-ng so it doesn't break it for older
eglibc versions?


Cheers,
Johannes

Two options:
  - bisect: find the version that changed the behavior, add a config knob
    LIBC_EGLIBC_X_YY_or_later, and choose the manual location depending on
    this option
  - look in the build dir if manual are present, otherwise fallback to
    looking in the src dir.

Bisect is (somewhat) better, but looking in build dir might be easier.
Your pick, I don't really mind.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

How about if I just send a patch using CT_LIBC_EGLIBC_2_16_or_later
and leave it to someone else to care about older eglibc versions?
I've done several build experiments with eglibc already,
for the moment I think it's enough ;-)

Thanks,
Johannes
