No, it is lieing to you.  Manpages aren't "built".  Watch your 'make
output', it does nothing in the docs directory.  And installing the
manpages is just a few file copies.

This is more applicable today:
  --enable-docs           Use this if you want manpages installed.  Apparently
                          this was once such a long, time-consuming process
                          that someone bothered to make this option.  Now, it
                          is a bug that this isn't enabled by default.
