The files that seem to be causing the confusion are:

<src tree>/doc/src/sgml/html-stamp
<src tree>/doc/src/sgm/man-stamp

A src tree 'maintainer-clean' removes then, but any lesser level of
clean doesn't. Hmm - shouldn't a VPATH build look at its *own*
doc/src/sgml/*-stamp files to see if it needs to build the docs? Note
that it does *create* them in there after a successful build...

Cheers
