System: NetBSD azathoth 1.1 NetBSD 1.1 (AZATHOTH) #16: Thu Nov 23 03:00:50 EST 1995 root@azathoth:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/AZATHOTH i386

>Description:
	Neither abort() nor exit() ever returns, but the stdlib.h
header doesn't reflect that fact.

/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/libgroff/assert.cc won't compile with
-Werror until this is fixed.

>How-To-Repeat:
	cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/libgroff; make
>Fix:
	Apply the patch below.  You'll want to reformat stdlib.h
afterwards to make it comply with the NetBSD style guidelines.
