Thank you for the bug report. This bug has been fixed in the
development sources, which can be downloaded using git from
git://git.sv.gnu.org/grep.git

The bug is even more egregious since if you delete the section in the configure file that tests for GNU grep, it merrily configures, builds and installs.  So it is a spurious dependency that can be excised without any pain.

I am trying to build GNU grep 2.7 on Solaris 10, and the 'configure' script fails with:

checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... configure: error: no acceptable grep could be found in /usr/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/opt/solstudio12.2/bin:/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin

I would rather not have to install an old binary built by somebody, just so I can build the new version.
