+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [embedded specific]
+
+We don't really need to build the doc and manual.
+
+Morever, we get this failure in do_compile:
+help2man: can't get `--help' info from hostname.td/hostname
+
+This is because help2man tries to invoke "hostname --help", but in the
+cross-compile case, the target binary may not be execuable on the host.
