Ok, I understand now what you mean.

Not quite sure yet. Seems to be a problem of using out-of-tree builds.
At least I can *not* reproduce the issue with an in-tree build.

When doing the oot build I'm getting a lot of those warnings:


make[2]: Circular man/systemd.directives.xml <- man/bootup.xml
dependency dropped.
make[2]: Circular man/systemd.directives.xml <- man/daemon.xml
dependency dropped.
make[2]: Circular man/systemd.directives.xml <- man/halt.xml dependency
dropped.
...

See also the 204-6 build

In comparison from the 204-5 build, there are no such warnings about
circular dependencies:

I wonder if something in our toolchain has changed which causes that
regression. My bet would be changes in automake
