As far I can remember, it was already broken at 5.2. C++ compilations don't even get completed, and C++ executables have issues. This hits roff, if I remember right, which one of the tools built, so you never get past building even the tools. (All a bit fuzzy memory) There might have been additional issues, but that's the one that stands out in my memory. As for exactly when it stopped building, I don't remember anymore.
