it passes for me with freebsd-make on GNU/Linux, but fails with native
make on FreeBSD and OpenBSD (looked at old logs of man4.test), each
failure looking something like this:

  + make distcheck
  [...]
  /usr/local/bin/bash /tmp/build/tests/man4.dir/build/man4-1.0/missing --run 
help2man --output=../bar.1 ../bar
  help2man: can't unlink ../bar.1 (Permission denied)
  *** Error code 1

  Stop in /tmp/build/tests/man4.dir/build/man4-1.0/_build.
  *** Error code 1

  Stop in /tmp/build/tests/man4.dir/build.

Which make and system do you see the failure on, is it the same?
Maybe it's time we analyse and fix it?

Rest of the review hopefully to come tonight.

Thanks,
Ralf
