OK.. with the new rtld, a shared groff works.

Before you backout the static hack, can you explain the upgrading
implications?

Since both a new rtld and a new kernel are required to be able
to buildworld from an alpha older than yesterday, do we just
note that in UPDATING, or do we somehow build groff statically
in the early phase, so that a the early stages of buildworld
will not depend on having a updated rtld?

Thanks,

Drew
