These are not needed in any way, so could (should) be removed.

In the file "tmac/pdfpic.tmac" the request '.pso' is used with a variable.
As this request is only valid in an unsafe mode (groff option '-U') it only
may take a constant text.

This is the second case of this kind of a bug (bug #65077),
see for example "CSTR #54", chapter 5, about the 'ns' request or
the "groff.info" (info groff) and groff(7) (incomplete).
There are bugs in "page-a.ms". The last one is for a trailing

Found by using the options "-ww -b -z" (except the trailing
space) and patched HDTBL macros.

The groff software is tuned to the imperial measurement system (inch
etc.).
Using another measurement system:
A text line normally never touches exactly a trap but goes beyond it.
Therefore a footer starts nearer the bottom edge than the
measurement in metric (SI) units indicates.
Those who leave the default (correct, easy) path experience (discover)
more.
Thus the dogma is:
You shall (must) always follow the default (correct, easy) path.
How does your path enlighten you?

Simply add

Fixing the compilation.
The program "bison" needs the option "-y" to name its output files in
the same way as "byacc" does, that is, according to the "POSIX yacc".
So use
export YACC='bison -y'
I could build the missing files by using "YACC=byacc", but I usually use
"bison".
YACC is an environmental variable.

The resolution is defined as the number of "units" per 1 inch, so it
is "1u/1i", or defined with, for example,
.nr resolution 1u/1i
The implied unit is 'u'.
Those who need it can create it themselves, avoiding unnecessary
additions to the code (which would be redundant).
How do you test something that is not there?
Why is there no test to check the correct working of the current state
of pipelines with a ".so " line in an input
file?
What has the behaviour of Ingo Swartze cost you (single and plural)?
and what saved you (also single and plural)?

The difference is caused by a defective viewer.

My current version (from "git describe") is "1.22.4-3311-g37ef8583".
There are two tmac-files that test for version "1.23" or later, so
they abort the processing.
I do not have a ".tarball-version" file. If I create it with content
"1.24.rc1" the created versions are always the same as tha
Saying "identical output" is a wrong interpretation of the text in
"CSTR #54", which is "... if the strings compare identically (including
motions and character size and font)...".
The words "size" and "font" are used in singular case, and the
word "motions" is plural.
So the strings must c

Bug #60403 (closed) unified the writing of "point-size" to "point
size".
The problem is,
that this coinage does not make sense.
The "point" in this compound,
is a name of a unit of measurement,
is thus a constant,
but its definition
(size, numerical value)
depends of the used measurement sy
The gnulib's version is probably out of date.
Read "INSTALL.REPO" and run groff's "bootstrap" to update "gnulib".

Concerning the warning "cannot adjust line".
It is caused by "troff" meddling with the line adjustment in at least
text block columns ( T{...T} ).
Happens when the adjustment mode is 'b' (adjust to both margins),
which is the default mode.
Temporary workaround is to put '.ad l' in front
1) The mandoc version 1.4.14 is out of date.
People should use the latest version, (now) 1.4.15.
2) Report #59415 shows a lot of warnings.

but I see no objective reasons given by him,

See groff bugs #58164 and #59461 for the history of this.
I have simplified the testing script, making it internally independent
of any locale issues.
So, what is left, is testing by others in their real or created
environment.
The original test is in
"src/roff/groff/tests/smoke-test_htm
The Debian project has a website "lintian.debian.org" where results of
its "lintian" software are presented.
"groff" has listed defects there, both in its software and issues,
that do not fulfil Debian's policy.
At least the listed defects in the software should be used to fix
them before e

A version of an index macro is in the file
"contrib/hdtbl/hdmisc.tmac-u",
or "/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/tmac/hdmisc.tmac".
Its name is "t*index".
It needs a correction, see for example groff bug #54538.

These changes may, must, shall, should be undone.
They
a) cause a regression
b) misuse the compatibility mode

This has been too much (long) chatter without simple solutions.
"Research is seeing the obvious." [1]
1) The missing part is information.
Solution:
a) Provide a message (warning, error), if "\snn" is in the input.
b) Augment the documentation to tell the readers,
that "\snn" is depr
