Thanks!
I am now looking into that script, and into doc/misc/Makefile.
I can see two approaches wrt to the Makefile:

1. Implement a separate Makefile target to generate org.org version with
   all the necessary code blocks inside evaluated, so that there is no
   need to redo it during make doc.

2. (simpler) Just reuse the existing .org->.texi target and run the full
   .texi generation from admin/update_autogen script itself.

The second option is less work and also ultimately shorter build times
as there will be no need to arrange Org mode compilation, and
.org->.texi conversion.

What do you think about such approach?
