[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#887829: mcl: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: mcl
Version: 1:14-137-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that mcl could not be built reproducibly.

By removing the strange $(doctmpdir) stuff, it ensure that mtimes etc
are not modified and then a file is updated when it isn't AFAICT.

Patch attached.
