Hi Deri, I can see how the wording in my previous email can be misleading.
Yes, I am able to build the release 1.23.0 branch as well as your deri-gropdf-ng branch, if I compile groff manually using a dedicated development setup created via `nix develop`¹ When I try to build using `nix build`² I run into the following error: make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'lib/libgnu.a', needed by 'grodvi'. Stop. I believe this is entirely due to my custom changes to the Nix groff package³ in order to try and get a reproducible build of groff using Nix based on your branch. It seems I need to understand a bit more about gnulib and its role when building groff.
