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 first
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 come
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)
