sorry, thank you for catching this. But the following is not true:

Recall that cgdb.1 was listed in dist_man_MANS, so the file is distributed.
A disctributed file may not depend on a built one. Thusly, you have to
list the distributed sources as the prerequisities and call $(MAKE) in the
associated commands to ensure that the built files are up-to-date (the
executable in this case).
So even in the non-recursive makefile you'd have
cgdb.1: cgdb/src/usage.c configure.ac
$(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS)cgdb/src/cgdb$(EXEEXT)
help2man ...

Have a nice day,
Stepan
