groff-1.18.1 (4Sep2002 snapshot) on hpux-11, fails on type mismatch

[korz]

Although groff-1.18.1 (04Sep2002 snapshot) finally yielded success on
Solaris 2.6, it failed as shown in lossage below on HPUX-11.

source: 1.18.1 snapshot (04Sep2002) from ftp.ffii.org
compiler:  g++ (gcc-3.2)
bison: 1.35
make: gmake 3.79.1

Unpacked the tarball (and renamed as crude version control), made
separate build directory, ran "../groff-1.18.1/configure" there, then
simply "make", which terminates (whether or not I have 'touched' pic.y
to trigger bison) as copied below.

The build also fails in this way on this platform with these tools
when building from the official groff-1.18 release sources.
