I've pushed your change along with the attached.
I'll probably create another snapshot today.
Thanks. I also installed a minor dfa.c change in Gnulib yesterday to
pacify Oracle Solaris Studio. No big deal since 'grep' builds OK anyway.
I also ran into a weird issue with test-select on Fedora 37 x86-64. It
appears to be timing dependent and usually doesn't happen. I can't
reproduce under strace. This is another Gnulib thing and not relevant to
grep (other than people might report test failures to bug-grep).
I installed into Gnulib the attached patch which shouldn't hurt but
which I don't know fixes the bug.diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog

+ test-pselect, test-select: use different ports
+ I have observed rare and hard-to-reproduce problems with the GNU
+ grep release candidate with ‘make -j5 check’ on Fedora 37 x86-64.
+ One possibility is that test-pselect and test-select interfere
+ with each other somehow when run simultaneously, as they use the
+ same port. Work around this possibility by using different ports
+ from each other, and from test-poll (which also uses 12345).
+ Of course it’d be better if all these tests used system-assigned
+ ports, but I assume that’d take more work.
+ * tests/test-pselect.c, tests/test-select.c (TEST_PORT): New macro.
+ * tests/test-select.h (TEST_PORT): Remove.
