    [build, man]: Fix Savannah #63924.
    
    * tmac/tmac.am (tmac/stamp-wrap): Stop prepending groff's man(7) package
      wrapper ("-man") on hosts with a system man package with a request to
      source itself; this was search-and-replace damage from resolving
      Savannah #60789.  The wrapper still worked, but reported any errors
      inside the wrapped macro package many times until the process ran out
      of file descriptors.  Problem introduced by me in commit fdac25937f,
      2021-07-05.
    
    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63924>.
    
    Discovered while testing on Solaris 10.
