The older versions of groff attempted to implement its own getopt
which conflicts with the definition of the system version [1].
You could try this. Before running ./configure execute:
sed -i -e 's/groff-getopt/getopt/' src/include/lib.h
That should prevent groff from including its own definitions.

I had problems when I skipped groff, but I don't remember what they
were.
