Re: sys-apps/groff-1.23.0: explicitly disable compatibility wrappers

[G. Branden Robinson]

Hi Fabian,

I saw the following in a commit[1] of yours.

"On Prefix systems, compatibility wrappers are generated because the
default action is "auto".  These wrappers, however, do not function
well on certain systems (Illumnos for instance), but from tests it
appears they are not necessary either, so just disable them
unconditionally."

Can you elaborate on this?  What is the failure mode?  When preparing
the groff 1.23.0, I don't recall that we had anyone testing its
portability to Illumos.

Perhaps we can get that working better for the next release.

Regards,
Branden
