I downloaded groff-1.23.0.rc2.tar.gz from GNU's alpha FTP site
(https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/groff/), but encountered an unfamiliar build
failure pertaining to vasnprintf.c:


lib/vasnprintf.c:411:16: error: expected parameter declarator
static_assert (sizeof (mp_limb_t) * CHAR_BIT == GMP_LIMB_BITS);
               ^
lib/vasnprintf.c:411:16: error: expected ')'
lib/vasnprintf.c:411:15: note: to match this '('
static_assert (sizeof (mp_limb_t) * CHAR_BIT == GMP_LIMB_BITS);
              ^
lib/vasnprintf.c:411:1: warning: type specifier missing, defaults to 'int'
[-Wimplicit-int]
static_assert (sizeof (mp_limb_t) * CHAR_BIT == GMP_LIMB_BITS);
^
lib/vasnprintf.c:415:16: error: expected parameter declarator
static_assert (sizeof (mp_twolimb_t) * CHAR_BIT == GMP_TWOLIMB_BITS);
               ^
lib/vasnprintf.c:415:16: error: expected ')'
lib/vasnprintf.c:415:15: note: to match this '('
static_assert (sizeof (mp_twolimb_t) * CHAR_BIT == GMP_TWOLIMB_BITS);


FWIW, I couldn't build from HEAD either (i.e., using the sources at revision
5d79ab9 in a clean checkout). Attached are the config.{log,status} files and a
copy of my terminal session.
