I find it more complicated [1][2] to remove all occurrences from the Texinfo documentation - which the above switch doesn't accomplish btw. For upstream development, I'd prefer to always build all tools. We have to ensure that all tools still build, leave alone the dramatic decrease of test coverage of those programs. Therefore, I'd rather like to see all tools built here ... maybe similar to have we enabled -Werror when .git exists?
