 The problem (if it's a problem) resides in /usr/src/Makefile.inc1:770
 and was added by obrien@ (CC'ed) in revison 1.363 on 2003/05/31 .
 After the commit, obrien was asked the reason for this change, since
 gnu/usr.bin/groff/tmac doesn't depend on c++ . obrien answered:
 "[...] feel free to keep that part out of the logic.  But it will get
 hairier than just allowing the NO_CXX to over just a little bit too
 much." (See
 http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/cvs-src/2003-June/004465.html )
 
 Because of this, I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a feature.
 My personal opinion is for it being a bug so I would suggest the
 following patch (can be found at
 http://www.riondabsd.net/diff/Makefile.inc1.diff ) :
