Looking at this more closely, I'm a bit confused.
The dependency cycle that jperkin posted goes cmake -> curl -> openldap_client -> groff

openldap client is a default-off dependency of curl, and I strongly
wonder why it is enabled in the macOS builds. Jonathan, can you shine
a light on this?

(openldap then uses soelim to generate its man pages, which pulls in
groff.)

So right now, this looks like a self-inflicted wound to me.
