Details:

Incomplete dependencies in Makefile causes occasional parallel build failures
(make -j).

Here is seemingly deterministic way to make `groff` build fail in sequential
mode for me:


$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure
$ make contrib/hdtbl/examples/col_rowspan_colors.ps
...
make contrib/hdtbl/examples/col_rowspan_colors.ps
  GROFF    contrib/hdtbl/examples/col_rowspan_colors.ps
/home/slyfox/dev/git/groff/groff: fatal error: cannot load 'DESC' description
file for device 'ps'
make: *** [Makefile:12392: contrib/hdtbl/examples/col_rowspan_colors.ps] Error
3
make: *** Deleting file 'contrib/hdtbl/examples/col_rowspan_colors.ps'
