Since recently, I'm getting this build error from nftables, quite definitely
because I am building in a separate directory, and not in the source tree
itself.
GEN doc/nft.8
GEN doc/libnftables-json.5
GEN doc/libnftables.3
a2x: ERROR: missing --destination-dir: ./doc
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1922: doc/nft.8] Error 1
May I suggest attached patch.
An alternative might be an entry in AC_CONFIG_FILES? In the source trees at
osmocom we usually have a Makefile generated in each output dir, which solves
any missing directory problems.
I haven't investigated the cause, maybe it is some change on my system that
suddenly exposes this; there was some serious package upgrading going on half
an hour ago.
Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] mkdir $(builddir}/doc
When building separately from the source tree (as in ../src/configure),
the 'doc' dir is not present from just the source tree. Create the dir
before calling a2x.
