Could you please specify if building from BitKeeper or from the released source TAR. And if from the source TAR, did you do "make clean" or "make distclean" or any other operation before the "./configure && make"?

I am not convinced this is the direction to go: The bug report is about building from development tree snapshots (typically, within a BitKeeper tree, or taken from one, maybe via the public access). I advocate this should be clearly visible in those files, and also in any binary package created from such a build. Therefore I would prefer having dummy files in such a build/snapshot which clearly state something like: This is a snapshot, not any fixed release version. In the sources of a release version, this file would contain ... (installation instructions, license information, ...) As you are using a snapshot, we refer you to the most recent release for this series if you need that information. And for a release version, all this does not apply because for this we replace those files by the current contents taken from the Docs tree during Bootstrap.
