Yes, my 4/25 build has the same problem.  Good catch!

I didn't, and I have the same problem.

I wonder if some script in the middle of "make install" is nuking the
$CDDIR man directories ...

A quick look makes me wonder about these scripts:  acl, attr, xfsprogs
Which all do this:

        cd $CDDIR || exit 1
        tar -xzf ...some.tar.file....
        copy_docs

And "copy_docs" is run without a parameter, which defaults to "." as the
first parameter.  And copy_docs does this (in $CDDIR):

        BD=$1
        [ -z "$BD" ] && BD=$(pwd)
	# a whole bunch of "cp" lines removed
        rm -rf $BD/{doc,man,info}
        rm -rf $BD/usr/{doc,man,info}
        rm -rf $BD/usr/local/{doc,man,info}
        rm -rf $BD/usr/share/{doc,man,info}
        rm -rf $BD/share/{doc,man,info}

Am I reading this correctly?  (if so, yikes! :)
