On second thought I'm closing this.

It's pretty obvious the diagnostic you're reporting is not against the groff that is publicly available.  Just compare line numbers with the "Makefile.am" from groff Git HEAD.

If you want assistance from others in developing your private fork of groff, the groff @ gnu mailing lists is the place to ask for it.  The Savannah bug tracker is here to support GNU roff, not your variation of it.

I can't reproduce this.

See the typescript attached to bug #64403, where this diagnostic does not appear.

I need a recipe to reproduce this problem with the stock groff master branch, or I will have to close this ticket.
