bug#66772: 30.0.50; Other directory build fails on OpenBSD

[Manuel Giraud via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors]

Hi,

Emacs is built correctly from the source directory but when I try to
build from another directory (as describe in INSTALL) it fails.  I have
entered the following commands:

        $ env CC=egcc MAKEINFO=gmakeinfo ~/emacs-repo/configure
        $ make

And here is the error I get:

Please try to figure out why this happens, and how does the in-place
build avoid this, as I don't have access to an OpenBSD system to do
that myself.

Thanks.

Ok.  I'll try to investigate this.  Thanks.

[Manuel Giraud via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors]

Ok my bad it does work but from a clean source directory.  As I'm
building from repo I start at "git clean -fdx".  Should I close this bug
or try to come up with some precision in INSTALL?

"make distclean" should be enough.  But yes, some kind of cleanup
after a different build is always required.

I think this bug should be closed.

INSTALL is about building from a release tarball, so I don't think
this belongs there.

Indeed, now done.
