Subject: Re: bug#55969: Feature request: configure option to build Emacs without any documentation

Just to see what the impact might be -- with the following (on my AMD
build machine), "make -j32 bootstrap" takes 1:32 and "make -j32
without-manuals" takes...  1:30.

I.e., it's not really noticeable.  (On machines with slower/fewer cores
it would be more seconds, but the same percentage, I guess.)

So I don't think this is worth doing -- I don't think many people
would actually use this, especially since you can just say
"make -C src lisp" yourself -- so I'm closing this bug report.
