>Description:
After mandoc has been updated in the NetBSD codebase to mandoc 1.14.6 building tools/mandoc fails on a Solaris 11.4 host system.

external/bsd/mdocml/dist/configure seems to assume that cc is present on the host system which is not the case on this host system.



>How-To-Repeat:
build.sh tools

>Fix:
The following patch fixes the issue, assuming that tools/mandoc/Makefile sets properly sets CC.

I can commit the fix myself if nobody objects.
