No, sorry. I already tried and it's not easy.
Because of the crash in the whole system, the build log may not be synced
with ext2fs and hence not include the latest command before the faulty one.
I also suspect this is not fault of a particular nroff/troff invocation, but
consequence of kernel overload after many of them.
Note that workaround is easy, though:
for i in /usr/bin/{n,t}roff ; do echo echo dummy $0 > $i ; done
