Comment to the bug report:

  Changes in am-files:

(CONFIG_HEADER is a variable set in " Makefile.in" but unused.)

1) "src/roff/nroff/nroff.am": target "nroff", adding dependency
"$(CONFIG_HEADER)" (as suggested in comment #1, and comment #7 pointing
out it being missing).

2) "Makefile.am": target "$(top_srcdir)/.version" adding dependency
"$(CONFIG_HEADER)".

  show a new line early in the output of "make ..." between
"lib/wctype.h" and "test-nroff":

  GEN      lib/wctype.h
echo 1.22.4.4268-b759b > ../.version-t && mv ../.version-t ../.version
  GEN      test-nroff
make  all-am

  Result: no test failure of
"src/roff/nroff/tests/verbose_option_works.sh"
