[SOLVED] Re: Problem with groff building 9.0

I had problems before adding the HOST_*** lines.

Running pretty Vanilla NetBSD, standard GENERIC and a conf I call GEMINI which adds GATEWAY, maxusers to 128, RTC_OFFSET to 480 and uncomments IPSEC_DEBUG, PPP_BSDCOMP, PPP_BSD_DEFLATE and ALTQ.

gcc8 with default options, system gcc is what came default with "NetBSD 8.99.26 (GEMINI) #0: Sun Nov 25 11:06:09 PST 2018"

Looks like it was bad binutils. The compile has gotten a lot farther.

Thanks,

Paul N

The .../tools/groff directory contains only the files CVS and Makefile. cvs update -Pd doesn't add any files.

Where did I go wrong?
Hints and/or clues are appreciated,
