i had not the same versions as you are useing...
i'm stil at xorg 7.5, thus libX11-1.3.4 and libXaw-1.0.7

gs is not built yet, i will build it after xorg and xfce is finished, i
don't know why groff 1.21 is capable to build the ps files, with 1.20.1
i have no problems and the .ps are not build.
xorg is completed now, i have no more failures. thus just the 2
mentionned packages fail building ps files.
i can't find any more .ps files except the ones from libX11 specs/i18n
(LocaleDB.ps Framework.ps and Trans.ps) which are built with success.
but with groff 1.20.1 those files are not built, thus your question why
configure now assumes to be able to build ps-files is quite a good question!
i just downloaded your versions for libX11 and libXaw and both compile
fine without building any .ps files.
BUT:
libXaw-1.0.7 built the files doc/widgets.{html,ps,txt} where as 1.0.8
has none of them but a bunch of .xml files!
with libX11-1.3.4 in doc/xtrans/specs the {html,ps,txt,images/*png}
files now are substitued by another bunch of xml and svg files!!
i can't say groff won't build ps-files. obviously the people at xorg
changed the docs from ps/html/txt to xml, thus groff won't fail any
longer. but why with groff 1.20.1 no .ps files are built, and with 1.21
despite the missing ghostscript make tries to build them (or configure
assumes to be able to build them) is beyond my knowledge...
i just rebuilt the 2 packages after finishing xorg and now start a
complete rebuild to check wether these 2 are compatible with xorg 7.5...
thanks for your help
btw: sorry for my bad english, but here it's now 0:40 in the moring, i'm
a little tired - time to go to bed and let the computer do his work...
