            Bug ID: 30128
           Summary: build fails: missing directory gas/doc
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.40
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gas
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: konrad at silmor dot de
  Target Milestone: ---

When building binutils 2.40 from Git it fails when it tries to write a file
into gas/doc because the directory is missing.

This is an out-of-source build with a fresh (initially empty) build directory
and clean sources.

Version: commit 32778522c7d8777803c88684b8e428ee729f0b22 (tag: binutils-2_40)

Host: Debian 11.5; source-built GCC 12.2.0; Linux kernel; x86_64 CPU
Targets: Linux (Host=Target); AVR-GCC

Configurations tested:
1) ../../binutils/configure --prefix=/usr/local/mydir --disable-nls
--enable-gold --enable-gprofng --enable-lto
2) ../../binutils/configure --prefix=$HOME/myavrdir --disable-nls --target=avr

Compilation with "make -j2" fails consistently, e.g.:
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/konrad/src/GCC/build-20220922/binutils/gas'
make  all-recursive
make[3]: Entering directory '/home/konrad/src/GCC/build-20220922/binutils/gas'

make[4]: *** [Makefile:2234: doc/asconfig.texi] Error 1

make[1]: *** [Makefile:5476: all-gas] Error 2

After creating the gas/doc directory in the build tree compilation succeeds as
expected.
