Proposed patch

I am not very familiar with this port, but in our case, man pages are empty
right after extract.

If I understand the Makefiles correctly, texti2pod.pl is supposed to run fi=
rst
to generate .pod files from binutils.texi and then, pod2man should be
generating the final manual pages.

In addition to the patch, I needed to remove the empty .1 man files that co=
me
with the distribution in post-patch. Otherwise the Makefile do not generate
them.

Tested in 12.2 amd64. Build testing @work for other environments (may take a
while)
