Yes.  Thanks for the review.

Done - see my other message to gcc-patches.

I don't want to scupper the big patch for a small detail, but it occurred to
me that there is another possible developer error that the Makefile should
try to diagnose.  Namely, when someone puts new documentation into tm.texi,
no check is done.  And when this file gets checked in and someone else then
changes tm.texi.in or target.def, or even if the checkout just happens to
leave a newer timestamp on one of the two latter files, the other developer
will be asked to overwrite the tm.texi in the source directory.
So, dirst, I add a new dependency of the stamp file on tm.texi, and second,
if tm.texi is newer than both of the source files, the error message is
different.

I've tested the attached sur-patchlet with 'make info' with various
combinations of timestamps of the input file while tm.texi was out-of-sync.

	* Makefile.in (s-tm-texi): Also depend on $(srcdir)/doc/tm.texi.
	When comparison fails and $(srcdir)/doc/tm.texi is newer
	than $(srcdir)/doc/tm.texi.in and $(srcdir)/doc/target.def,
	emit error message advising to edit $(srcdir)/doc/tm.texi.in.
