Dear Hamza,
I don't think we need to patch something. As I suspected, a simple
Make argument is all we need to prevent gdb from rebuilding the docs:
- $(MAKE) -C '$(1)' -j 1 install
+ $(MAKE) -C '$(1)' -j 1 install MAKEINFO=true
That replaces the MAKEINFO tool with the dummy program "true" that
does nothing and returns a success value. I just commited this:
https://github.com/mxe/mxe/commit/5c6a7e90a59f402cdc31bba5e49a61a801ba48e3
Please check if that works for you.
Regards,
Volker
