Yes, hidden dependency. We can fix that only by intercepting the generated *.la
files. I have no clue how we can do that.

Nope - it happens because of existence of iconv from pkgsrc and libiconv.la was
linked/referenced by the libserf.la - what is even more tricky.

But I would also argue, that the nit (from weight of error) in textproc/groff
should be fixed, anyway. But I would prefer a kind of fix making you and me
happy ;)
