When tm.texi.in is updated in the source tree, the following message
gets displayed:

Verify that you have permission to grant a GFDL license for all
new text in tm.texi, then copy it to <gcc src dir>/gcc/doc/tm.texi.

Having been myself and some colleagues confused several time by that
message as to what tm.texi to copy, I think it would be clearer to
indicate the absolute path for the source as well. This patch achieves
that.

ChangeLog entry is as follows:

*** gcc/ChangeLog ***

2018-08-09  Thomas Preud'homme  <thomas.preudhomme@linaro.org>

    * Makefile.in: Clarify which tm.texi to copy over to assert the
    right to grant a GFDL license for all.

Testing: Built GCC with a change in tm.texi.in and copied by
copy/pasting the source and destination path from the resulting message.
Second build then succeeded.

Is this ok for trunk?

Best regards,

Thomas
