OK, it compiles now. But when I do
./test-groff -man -Tascii src/roff/groff/groff.n | less
something strange happens; I see the man page displayed but it looks like
this:

GROFF(1)

       The  command line is parsed according to the usual GNU convention.
The
       whitespace between a command line option and its argument is
optional.
       Options can be grouped behind a single ESC[1m- ESC[22m(minus
character).  A filename
       of ESC[1m- ESC[22m(minus character) denotes the standard input.

ESC[1mDESCRIPTIONESC[0m
       This document describes the ESC[1mgroff ESC[22mprogram, the main
front-end  for  the
       ESC[4mgroffESC[24m document formatting system.  The
ESC[4mgroffESC[24m program and macro suite is
       the implementation of a ESC[1mroffESC[22m(7) system within the free
software collec-
       tion  ESC[34mGNUESC[0mESC[48m  <http://www.gnu.org>.   The
ESC[4mgroffESC[24m system has all features of
       the classical ESC[4mroffESC[24m, but adds many extensions.

       The ESC[1mgroff ESC[22mprogram allows to control the whole
ESC[4mgroffESC[24m  system  by  comand
       line  options.   This  is  a  great simplification in comparison to
the
       classical case (which uses pipes only).

[cut]

If I pipe to more instead it looks pretty much normal, ps output also
seems OK...

Best regards,
