>Environment:

	Affects any 3.0-current machine, probably 2.2 but not tested.

>Description:

	Defining a default value for CXXFLAGS in /etc/make.conf or
	in the environment, and attempting to build groff in the
	source tree causes a make world failure.

>How-To-Repeat:

	setenv CXXFLAGS "-O -m486 -pipe"  or
	CXXFLAGS="-O -m486 -pipe"; export CXXFLAGS

	cd /usr/src
	make world

	The make depend step will fail in gnu/usr.bin/groff/libgroff.

>Fix:
	
	The groff Makefile (or Makefile.cfg) should probably override
	CXXFLAGS to the current CFLAGS, or set CXXFLAGS as well for c++
	sources.
