Ouch!  I'm forgetful, lazy  -  and very sorry.

I already solved this for OpenBSD and *wanted* to report it here,
but completely forgot to.

This is not OS dependent.
It's a typical case of a missing dependency rule
that bites you in parallel builds.
Here is the patch to fix it:

http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/textproc/groff/patches/patch-Makefile_in.diff?r1=1.5&r2=1.6

Also, i'm sorry for missing this in my testing before release.
The problem was first reported by Christian Weisgerber and Nigel Taylor
shortly after release, and i fixed it when i got those two reports.

Yours,
  Ingo
