This is unfortunately not straightforward. Docs and binaries are
intertwined in the (rather archaic) build system. The latter would
probably need to be heavily patched or hacked around to achieve that.

I had already tried that once, and given up. I’ll probably give it a
second try, but I don’t promise you that it’ll be successful.

Best,
