Sorry for the confusion. I have directed all of my postings here since the
bulk of the discussion on this topic has happened here anyway. The two prior
patches do mean those other two bugs indeed. I didn't want to clobber this
tracker by opening yet another bug before I get others' opinions.

The patch addresses allowing building everything except the docs, but this is
generalized so that one gets a better control over what is being built in
general. See the commit message of file #56729:

Allow more granular selection of parts of groff to be built

The following make targets are added:
* prog = programs
* lib = libraries
* bin = binaries (prog + lib)
* man-text = manpages in .txt and .[157] formats
* manual = Texinfo manual (if enabled via ./configure)
* doc-extra = misc documentation
* doc = all documentation (man-all + manual + doc-extra)
* examples
* data = remaining data (font description files)

All of the above except for data are given associated clean targets
suffixed by -clean. The target previously named man-clean is renamed
to man-all-clean for consistency with the new clean targets.
