The texinfo still says:

@titlepage
@title groff
@subtitle The GNU implementation of @code{troff}
@subtitle Edition 1.22.3
@subtitle Autumn 2014
@author by Trent address@hidden
@author and Werner Lemberg (@email{bug-groff@@gnu.org})

I’m using

(/.../groff/build-aux/texinfo.tex
Loading texinfo [version 2018-01-09.11]

and get lots of warnings like:

-:3593: warning: undefined flag: Lbracemacro (possibly involving @Lbrace)
-:3594: warning: undefined flag: Rbracemacro (possibly involving @Rbrace)

-:16268: warning: undefined flag: Langlemacro (possibly involving @angles)

I am building in build and the pdfs created in ./contrib/mom/examples are empty

The devpdf download file looks good (it points to the correct font locations)

My system is MacOS 10.11.
LANG="de_DE.UTF-8“ setting LANG to „c“ doesn’t change anything.
