Yes, it's built earlier in the process and seems to be fine.

I've tried both the standard (BSD) make and gmake -- no difference.

Neither can I, that's why I'm asking for help.  :-)

It doesn't look like a make problem to me, it looks like something's not
working right in the font file search logic, but I don't know enough
about it to even know where to start trying to debug it.  The last
version of groff I built on this platform was 1.15, so it's been a
while, but it worked fine.
