They're supposed to be built on the fly, and the file dates in the rc1
tarball do appear to match the time of tarball building. Do you get
what you expect if you build the man pages locally?

One thing I notice is that the "table" and "with" entries are not coming
out as intended. The file names are all caps:

-rw-r--r-- 1 tgl users 18 Jun 12 01:37 WITH.7
-rw-r--r-- 1 tgl users 18 Jun 12 01:37 TABLE.7

and the content surely isn't what was meant:

$ more TABLE.7
.so man7/SELECT.7
$ more WITH.7
.so man7/SELECT.7
