For reasons I am unable to fathom, "egrep" is mapping to /usr/local/bin/egrep
which is a wrapper that invokes: grep -E ${1+"$@"}
If either /usr/local/bin was in the PATH before /bin or the
invocation was: /usr/local/bin/grep -E ${1+"$@"}
then all would be fine. So, I need to modify all usages of egrep and fgrep
to utilize ${EGREP} and ${FGREP} and use the AC_PROG_EGREP/FGREP things
you pointed out below.
I build on Solaris without too much trouble, but I think the GNU
tools are not installed on a search path or they use a "g" prefix
on the standard utility names. Something. I'm under some time
pressure on my day job, so it'll likely be a week or two before I
can bump out the hacked EGREP/FGREP stuff. Sorry. - Bruce
