Patch commited (with a slight difference: I've put the definition of SED in the top-level Makefile.am file). I did not find a good way to set LANG and LC_ALL globally.

Thanks. I still wonder whether LANG and LC_ALL can be set globally for the whole build and installation process. I guess that other tools might benefit also (even if not currently necessary).

The problem was encountered on a version of groff before the Automake migration, and the patched file no longer exist. Could you please try to build the latest sources from the git repository?

Thanks for the patch. However, I think it can be simplified a lot by setting `LANG' and `LC_ALL' globally while building groff.

Bertrand, please have a look.

The attached patch fixes build failure with the distributed source MacOS X. sed is picky about LANG and LC_ALL settings when handling files with non-UTF-8 characters in it.
