Oh dear... relocatep.cpp is not much better, here is the offending function:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
// Strip the installation prefix and replace it
// with the current installation prefix; return the relocated path.
char *relocatep(const char *path)
{
#if DEBUG
fprintf(stderr, "relocatep: path = %s\n", path);
fprintf(stderr, "relocatep: INSTALLPATH = %s\n", INSTALLPATH);
fprintf(stderr, "relocatep: INSTALLPATHLEN = %d\n", INSTALLPATHLEN);
#endif
if (!curr_prefix)
set_current_prefix();
if (strncmp(INSTALLPATH, path, INSTALLPATHLEN))
return strsave(path);
char *relative_path = (char *)path + INSTALLPATHLEN;
size_t relative_path_len = strlen(relative_path);
char *relocated_path = new char[curr_prefix_len + relative_path_len + 1];
strcpy(relocated_path, curr_prefix);
strcat(relocated_path, relative_path);
#if DEBUG
fprintf(stderr, "relocated_path: %s\n", relocated_path);
#endif /* DEBUG */
return relocated_path;
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I don't even get the use case of the function... From locale_charset, it seems
that the argument is LIBDIR.
So maybe INSTALLPATH and/or LIBDIR is not properly set when we compile groff.

This works indeed! Can you see a fix then?
