The problem I see with that is when things are added to or changed in
src/Makefile, the user's currently installed build(7) page will have
outdated information. So you would need to direct users to not only
read build(7), but read the src/share/man/man7/build.7 in the source,

  $ man -M /usr/src/share/man build
