Hello, thanks for your answers, and thanks to your friends too.

Well, as on Fedora I get "a b".
I've looked at the arch packages, it doesn't contain any patches,
just a site.tmac for man and mdoc. Here is the pkgbuild:
http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/groff/repos/core-i686/PKGBUILD

So, I need more investigation, looking at my own installation.
I'm gonna do some tests and research and reply if I find something.

One more thanks for your help.
