[ 2.7.1 bug-fixes ]

Nope. Groff is broken with regards to newer c++ releases because it
relies on an older revision of the standard. You can compile groff by
telling it to use the older standard with a flag.
It has to do with:
{
for (int i=0; i++; i < 10)
printf("%d ", i);
printf("%d\n", i);
In the older standard, 'i' was in scope in the final printf, but the
newer standard says that 'i' is only in scope within the for loop.
