I personally don't care about building _any_ docs just to test the software.
But the build system builds them by default (and you've been resistant to
requests to decouple them, as I recall), so when problems arise in the default
build, I report them to hopefully keep other users from stumbling over them,
not because I care what documentation is built.
In this case, it appears doc/webpage.ms is looking for gnu.eps, which (a quick
"find" confirms) does not exist in the groff tree I'm building in.
Offhand I'm not sure why this is. Whatever tools have successfully built
gnu.eps in past groff builds should still be available: nothing has been
removed from the system. So it smells like a faulty dependency graph: that
"make" didn't realize it needed to perform some other step before trying to
process webpage.ms. That's conjecture at this point, and I recall recent
discussion about gnu.eps that I should track down to see if it's pertinent.
