build: fix the generation of the documentation.
Some of our targets use "bison --help", but they can't depend on
"bison" itself (to avoid additional requirements on the user), so
they used to call "make src/bison" in the commands. Then
concurrent builds may fail: one make might be aiming one of its
jobs at compiling src/bison, and another job at generating the man
page. If the latter is faster than the former, then we have two
makes that concurrently try to compile src/bison.
This might also be a more convincing explanation for the failure
described in the patch "build: fix paths".
