My July 10 groff build from then-latest git source did not run to completion.
It built a functional groff (with which I discovered bug #68510, bug #68511,
and bug #68524), but the documentation part of the build failed as follows.
GEN font/devlj4/DESC
GROFF doc/webpage.html
pre-grohtml: fatal error: 'pre-grohtml' exited with status 4; re-run with a
different output driver to see diagnostic messages
make[2]: *** [Makefile:19691: doc/webpage.html] Error 4
I thought that somewhere the build generated a log I could check to see what
actual command was being run to build doc/webpage.html, but I couldn't find
it, so I'm posting here to get advice on the next steps I should take to find
out what went wrong.
