[erlang-questions] [erlang-bugs] otp_src_17.0.tar.gz: "make docs" fails in "system/doc/top"

[Kenneth Lundin]

I think this has to do with that we deleted
the system/README file on purpose because it did only contain useless
outdated information. Apparently there is still some Makefile dependency
which should not be there.

So your quick fix with touch is ok, you will not miss anything interesting
in the docs.
