IMHO we don't need manual pages, info files, and any other "cruft"
to be built or installed as part of the "tools" structure, even in
the Makefile.gnuhost style tools builds.

I would comment out the build & install of these items in the "native"
using the same technique I used to disable rebuild of .y->.c
in the tools build.  See the following for a method:
   http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/gnu/dist/gcc/gcc/Makefile.in#rev=
1.7


Cheers,
Luke.
