Did you resolve this?  I cannot reproduce it.

The following procedure works fine for me on my Debian-based box.

wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/groff/groff-1.22.4.tar.gz
tar xfz groff-1.22.4.tar.gz
cd groff-1.22.4/
./configure && make -j check

"no configure script" makes me suspect that the groff archive you have
is not the correct one.

The one I obtained from the URL above has a sha256sum of:

e78e7b4cb7dec310849004fa88847c44701e8d133b5d4c13057d876c1bad0293

Does yours match?

Regards,
Branden
