Have a machine that I have been trying to get current compiled on.
Strated from 3.0-RELEASE and cvsup'ed from there.
Groff seems to be having problems though:

===> doc/smm/12.timed
touch _stamp.extraobjs
(cd /usr/src/share/doc/smm/12.timed/../../../../usr.sbin/timed/SMM.doc/timed; groff -mtty-char -Tascii -t -s -ms -o1- /usr/src/share/doc/smm/12.timed/../../../../usr.sbin/timed/SMM.doc/timed/timed.ms) |  gzip -cn > paper.ascii.gz
groff: can't find `DESC' file
groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii'     


A trace shows:

...
syscall open("devascii/DESC",0,0666)
        errno 2 'No such file or directory'
groff: can't find `DESC' file       

I have tried every permution of rebuild world (-DNOSHARE, -k etc..)
and I cant get past this. Obiously this breaks man pages et el.

The libgroff that it builds seems to have:
/usr/share/groff_font
GROFF_FONT_PATH 

I cannot figure this out.

Thank you,
