The incantation I was missing is `lndir ../src'?

I am guessing that the multi-arch. build process looks like:

        $ mkdir linux; cd linux
        $ lndir ../src
        $ ./Setup.sh
        $ ./configure
        $ make

This makes src/, doc/, and their build directories siblings, so
something like "@verbatiminclude ../../src/..." in a manual is not
unreasonable?

With the lndir incantation (and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude), I am not
needing ANY .gitignore files now.
