I would think it is preferable to keep the 'make headers_install' and
'make Documentation/' steps separate, as they currently are, so that
only the people who need to upgrade system headers do that, rather than
forcing people to upgrade system headers each time something in
Documentation/ is recompiled and moreover doing that compile/install as
root.
