Hmm, that's news to me.  I'm using groff compiled SunOS binaries w/out
any problems.  I did however need to do some hand-editing of files to
get it to successfully compile in addtion to the CFLAGS additions for
the 'for-scope thing'.  However, I no longer have access to the source
on that machine anymore, so I can't tell you what they were.  It wasn't
too hard though.
