            Bug ID: 216602
           Summary: The build system requires the bsd compat libraries
                    even if only installing man pages
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
          Reporter: pierre.labastie@xxxxxxx
        Regression: No

In version 6.0, Makefile unconditionally includes lib/build-src.mk, which
itself unconditionally runs "pkg-config" to search libbsd-overlay. This
generates spurious messages if this library is not installed, while this
library is not needed if only installing the man pages on the system.

Note: I'm one of the linuxfromscratch editors, and we install the man pages
early in the process.
