Description
Hi,
I've tried to build the last release tarball 5.1.0, the build was fine until the make install stopped with the following error:
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat 'doc/jemalloc.html': No such file or directory
Before I did:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --prefix<...>
make
make install
Since the file does exist, I've tried without the separate build directory which works fine.
Maybe you want to fix the build from a separate build directory, or add a hint that this is not supported.
Thanks in advance.

Research direction
Reproduce the release-tarball build with a separate build directory using ../configure, make, and make install. Inspect the install step around the missing doc/jemalloc.html path; done means installation succeeds from the separate build directory as it does from the source directory.
