 They might be a showstopper if you want to use de_DE,ISO-8859-1 :
personally I only use UTF-8 locales (and for those, 'man' was broken
last time I tested it in clfs - with current groff).

 I don't have a great deal of interest in the US locale tests ;-)

 But to be honest, I don't see much point in me replying to you any
more : you continue to top post, you report problems but continue on
before waiting for replies (yes, waiting for replies can take a long
time - we aren't all following the lists 24/7 and sometimes you
won't get any responses), and you post bits and pieces of the error
reports.  Enjoy your build, I hope it works out well :-)
