gdb-7.7 lost canonicalized man-pages

Hi,
When building for non-native targets, gdb < 7.7 installed a couple of
its man-pages in their target-canonicalized form:
e.g.:
/opt/rtems-4.11/share/man/man1/sparc-rtems4.11-gdb.1.gz
With gdb-7.7, this behavior seems to have changed. Gdb-7.7 always seems
to be installing man-pages non-canonicalized:
e.g.:
/opt/rtems-4.11/share/man/man1/gdb.1.gz
Is this change intentional or an accident?
To us this change is not helpful, because we install several targets'
gdbs in parallel and would keep a separate manpage for each target's gdb.
