Great.  I increased save_size locally to just 8000 and that was enough
to make the gnulib manual build.

The best place I could find was doc/README, is this ok?

 regexprops-generic.texi is generated via a utility in findutils.

+When building the PDF/DVI manual using TeX you may get the following
+error message:
+
+   TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [save size=5000].
+
+To solve this, you will have to increase the 'save_size' value in your
+texmf.cnf, typically in /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf.  Increasing it to 50000
+is known to work.
