There should be a note that on Snow Leopard you have to set $CXX
to an upgrade compiler -- the developer-toold shipped `Apple clang
version 1.7 (tags/Apple/clang-77) (based on LLVM 2.9svn)' bails:

  checking whether wcwidth works reasonably in UTF-8 locales... no
  checking that C++ compiler can compile simple program... no

  configure: error: a working C++ compiler is required

`clang version 3.4 (branches/release_34 197314)' as well as
`gcc-mp-4.8 (MacPorts gcc48 4.8.2_0) 4.8.2' manage it.  Doesn't
matter anyway, this system is no longer supported and even may
usage of it will become as extinct as the beautiful cat itself.
Let me say at least once and finally that i personally consider

  address@hidden groff.git]$ du -s gnulib
  57548   gnulib

a boldness, especially given that the single function that is used
from that library is used faulty, and the replacement on the bug
tracker is a few hundred byte object code.  But that imbalance
will surely become smaller over time.
Ciao,
