[bug#70380] [PATCH 0/3] Reproducible `make dist' tarball: Avoid override stamp-N warnings.

[Janneke Nieuwenhuizen]

Hi!

Reproducibility is fine and all that but the forteen new make warnings

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Makefile:7400: warning: overriding recipe for target 'doc/stamp-vti'
Makefile:5117: warning: ignoring old recipe for target 'doc/stamp-vti'
Makefile:7401: warning: overriding recipe for target 'doc/stamp-1'
Makefile:5182: warning: ignoring old recipe for target 'doc/stamp-1'
[..]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

already started to annoy me so much that I found another solution: Overwrite
build-aux/mdate-sh with our own, new build-aux/mdate-from-git.scm script.

It comes with a bit of a hack: because of how Automake's stamp-N rules are
written, the new script needs knowledge about where to get the timestamp for
doc/guix.LANG.texi files.

WDYT?

Greetings,
Janneke
