FWIW: Based upon a very hasty glance (without looking into details) 
there are quite a few issues with the current status in git:

1. "make clean" doesn't clean up the *.html
Openly said, I dislike the new file naming scheme. Is there a way to 
have a consistent naming (e.g. like the one we used to have, i.e. all 
files sharing a common prefix)?

2. networking/ fails to build networking.ps with a dvips error.
I haven't yet checked, but this could be a local Fedora issue.

3. The texi2*_init[.in] handling is questionable and error-prone.
I'll likely commit a patch later this week.

4. It's once again time to investigate whether it's possible to switch 
to automake's standard texi* rules and to stop using custom rules 
(Formerly, texi2html prevented from RTEMS doing so).

5. It's once again time, to consider shipping prebuilt *.texi's and to 
make the *.t->*.texi conversion a "packager-maintainer"'s job (This is 
what the GCS demands and likely is a prerequist for 4.)
