Hi Branden,
I've just built groff v1.23.0-rc3 on my old Fedora 33 box,
and there were no errors that I could see. I did a ‘make
check’, and all seemed well. Here’s the summary:
============================================================================
Testsuite summary for GNU roff 1.23.0.rc3
============================================================================
# TOTAL: 162
# PASS: 160
# SKIP: 0
# XFAIL: 2
# FAIL: 0
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0

I did find a (very) minor typo whilst reading the groff(1) man
page, as specified in the file INSTALL.extra, in the Evaluation
section. The file says to run the command
“./test-groff -man -Tascii src/roff/groff/groff.1 | less -R”
which I did. All went well until I got to the Preprocessors
section. There, I found a couple of blocks of tbl commands.
At first, I thought they were examples, and that the actual
tables would be displayed later. Wrong. It turns out that the
command given in the INSTALL.extra file was missing the -t
option. Like I said, very minor. Once I added the -t option,
everything worked just fine.
Oh, and I did try building some PDFs that I’d already built
with v1.22.4, and they built just fine. (These were MOM
docs, fwiw.)

Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most.
