Clang 16 defaults to C++17, which does not allow the `register` storage class specifier. This is fixed upstream and will be included in 1.23.0, but the commit with the fixes does not apply cleanly, so a patch is provided instead of using `fetchpatch`.

I'm keeping my eye on this. However, it's looking like the 1.23 release of Groff might not be far off and I'm hopeful we can avoid carrying the big patch ourselves.
I consider waiting for the next release feasible until such time as this becomes a true blocker.

According to the latest status update, it looks a release is imminent (possibly this week). I’ll keep this PR open until it the new version is released in case #241692 is merged before that happens, and we need to fix the groff build in the meantime. |

Closing in favor of #241870. |

Great work on this @reckenrode!! (Un)fortunately(?) groff 1.23.0 has been released making the changes proposed in this PR no longer necessary. |
