This package can easily be confused with 'man-pages' -- at least, I 
initially confused this as a duplicate of man-pages. Could the 
relationship be clarified in the description?

Maybe (assoc-ref %outputs "out") -> #$output and '(#:tests? ...) -> 
(list #:tests? #f #:make-flags #~(list ...) #:phases #~(...)), now we 
have G-exps.

Also, IIRC there's a #:make-target and #:parallel-build? #false

As a bonus, you could update the 'man-pages' package to the new G-exps, 
though not required.

Greetings,
Maxime.

That's fair. How does this revised description sound? "Excerpts from the
POSIX.1-2008 and TC1 standards (collectively, POSIX.1-2013) in manual
page form. While the Linux man-pages project documents the system as it
exists, this package documents the portable software API nominally
implemented by many unix-likes."

Sounds good!

There is a #:parallel-build? #f, but no #:make-target field, as far as I
could tell. Though, the build phase doesn't explicitly target all, so it
would be possible to provide the gz target through #:make-flags.

But, also, all the build phase does is compress the manpages, which
could entirely be done by the compress-documentation phase with some
edits done to it; at the moment, its regex for detecting manpages
doesn't take into account the [023]p format of this package's manpages.

Thoughts?

Sure! I'll submit that with v2 as a patchset.

'as it exists' -> 'as it exists on Linux- and glibc-based systems', as 
we also support the Hurd.

Otherwise looks good to me.

Right, there's a #:test-target but not #:make-target.

I think we could do #:make-flags "gz" for now, extending the regex to 
[023]p is more of a long-term thing (while a simple change, it would 
cause many rebuilds and hence needs to be done on core-updates).

Greetings,
Maxime.

These two patches look good to me (not verified locally, but if it 
builds for you it should build for everyone).

Applied (with minor tweaks to the man-pages-posix description), thanks!

And thank you Maxime for reviewing.
