Cross compiling coreutils *and* generate the manpages at the same time

unfortunately, current wisdom is this is working as intended

for Gentoo, i maintain a prebuilt tarball of the man pages you can unpack over
top the existing source release and get sanity again.
http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/coreutils-8.23-man.tar.xz

Thanks, but mine still fails :/

did you unpack it inside the dir, or over top ?  i.e. you want to do:
        tar xf coreutils-8.23.tar.xz
        tar xf coreutils-8.23-man.tar.xz


Yeap.

you do *not* want to do:
        tar xf coreutils-8.23.tar.xz
        cd coreutils-8.23
        tar xf coreutils-8.23-man.tar.xz


I know, I did that first :-)


if that still fails, after you unpack both, try doing:
        set -- man/*.x
        touch ${@/%x/1}


Still the same :(
I build by using a seperate build directory, but that shouldn't matter. Should it?
