[003] Troubleshooting
________________________________________________________________________________
--[004] Manual Pages Empty -----------------------------------------------------
The latest binutils has a bug in its build system where manual pages are
truncated and end up empty. A patch must be applied and they must be
regenerated. To do so, install perl and run 'kiss b binutils'.
This workaround should not be needed as of next release. This is a temporary
measure to ensure documentation remains available to those wanting it
