>Description:
Info node "Configure and make" section 3 (run 'configure')
states that with

        ./configure --with-full-gnats

GNATS is set to run on the machine we're building it on;

However, doing the above will set the GNATS server
name to "gnats", not the name of the host
where we're building.

It is not until much later in the build process
("Installing the daemon") that we learn that 
the server for the daemon is assumed to be the
one with name "gnats", and that to override this,
we should build with flag

        --with-gnats-server=HOSTNAME

to set it to the actual hostname, during
the first step of the build.

Could the documentation be changed so that we don't
learn about this so late in the build process?
