glibc-2.0.109: some manual files shouldn't be in the distribution


Hi!

I've been building glibc for the Hurd over and over and over again.
I'm happy to report that glibc-2.0.109 is very close to a clean
out-of-the-box compilation.

There is only one nit that I still see: there are some incorrect rules
in manual/Makefile.

The current glibc manual directory builds `chapters.texi',
`stamp-summary', `summary.texi', `texis', and `top-menu.texi'
depending on the add-ons that you have configured, but it also
distributes those files.  The distributed files depend on arbitrary
add-ons (linuxthreads and crypt).

Add-ons can change between runs of `configure', so these files
shouldn't be distributed with the .tar.gz.  Instead, they should be
automatically generated at build time (in the build directory).

I assume that the correct fix would be to remove those files from the
definition of the `distribute' variable in `manual/Makefile'.

Thanks,
