Follow-up Comment #6, bug #68525 (group groff):

From the "build" directory, doing a "make doc/gnu.eps" followed by a "make"
allowed the build to complete.  This supports my conjecture that my dependency
tree is off somehow.

Indeed, two lines in the doc/doc.am excerpt you posted support this as well:

doc/webpage.ps: $(DOC_GNU_EPS) tmac/pspic.tmac tmac/www.tmac tbl
doc/webpage.html: $(DOC_GNU_PNG) tmac/www.tmac tbl

But webpage.html seems to require gnu.eps, not gnu.png as the makefile wants
it to.  Before I successfully built gnu.eps, I tried this based on the "make
V=1" output that showed the failing command:

$ groff-latest -z -ww -b -t -I ../doc -P-jwebpage -P-nrb -P-Iwebpage -P-Dimg
-Thtml -ms ../doc/webpage.ms
troff: backtrace: 'pspic.tmac':50: macro 'PSPIC'
troff: backtrace: file '../doc/../doc/webpage.ms':45
troff:../doc/../doc/webpage.ms:45: error: cannot open 'gnu.eps': No such file
or directory
../doc/../doc/webpage.ms:45: fatal error: PSPIC failed to include 'gnu.eps'

(I ran the above from "build", and I see now I erred in giving -I the
parameter "../doc" rather than "./doc", which is where gnu.eps should have
been found.  But since it was in neither place, this error turns out to be
moot.)
