I sent in a PR that fixed groff; it's lib/1845.  The gist of it is
that you need to prefix the prototypes of abort() and exit() in
<stdlib.h> with '__dead' (see <sys/cdefs.h>).  I rebuilt my entire
tree after making that change, so I know that it doesn't break
anything on an i386.

I haven't had any problems with PPP, but I haven't made the GCC
switchover yet.
