If you compiling Gromacs-2020.6 with Plumed2-2.7.2, do follow the Regression Test Errors during Gromacs Compilation. The Key issues are 

DREGRESSIONTEST_DOWNLOAD=OFF -DREGRESSIONTEST_PATH=../regressiontests-2020.2

If you can download the regressiontests-2020.6.tar.gz and get the regressiontest PATH correct, it should work without issues.
