Re: groff build crashes on lib/asnprintf.c

  Adding the gnulib module 'posixcheck' could indicate some changes that
need to be done.

1) use the latest gnulib from the repository by installing it with

git clone https://https.git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git

Add 'posixcheck' to 'bootstrap.conf'

set 'export GNULIB_SRC=<the path of the local gnulib repository>'.

Set

export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I <path to aclocal>" (I use /usr/share/aclocal)

sync='--bootstrap-sync'

options="--no-git --gnulib-srcdir=$GNULIB_SRCDIR \
  --skip-po  $sync"

(The directory 'gnulib' in groff might have to be empty or absent.)

run "bootstrap $options"

See bug #68715 for an example of warnings.
