OK.

Worth testing to check that everything is alright.

If it works, then all good.

Note that for binutils, we have a different work-around: we touch
all .info files so that they have a date that is later than the source
files they are generated from. But that only works for tarball releases
(that contain .info files). For binutils fetched from Git, we depend on
host-texinfo.

Best regards,
