Hello, thanks for your answers, and thanks to your friends too. Well, as on Fedora I get "a b". I've looked at the arch packages, it doesn't contain any patches, just a site.tmac for man and mdoc. Here is the pkgbuild: http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/groff/repos/core-i686/PKGBUILD So, I need more investigation, looking at my own installation. I'm gonna do some tests and research and reply if I find something. One more thanks for your help.
