Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that mcl could not be built reproducibly.

By removing the strange $(doctmpdir) stuff, it ensure that mtimes etc
are not modified and then a file is updated when it isn't AFAICT.

Patch attached.

As always thanks for this effort.

The "strange $(doctmpdir) stuff" stuff was invented to enable building
the package twice in a row.  I now decided to repack the tarball and
remove all those files that are existing but will be recreated in the
build process.
 
Kind regards

       Andreas.

Interesting. (I looked in the changelog but could not find any reference
to the doc stuff)

Good idea re. repacking.
