I was trying to build GNU grep on a NetBSD 9.3 machine when I saw this nasty bit of business :
I just now built grep 3.11 on NetBSD 9.3 x86-64, and didn't run into any problems.
/usr/pkg/gcc10/bin/gcc
The default GCC on NetBSD 9.3 x86-64 is GCC 7.5.0. I installed gcc10 (the instructions for this are not obvious for a non-NetBSD user, by the way), and still could not reproduce the problem.
I see that you are running NetBSD on the sparc and are using an extensive set of unusual compile-time options like "-std=iso9899:1999", whereas my simpler approach causes 'configure' to use '-std=gnu11' which may explain why I don't run into problems. What happens if you just do a plain "configure; make" with the ordinary GCC? If that works, then you might try seeing which option or options cause the problem.
Also, if you're not already doing so, please build grep 3.11 as opposed to any older grep version.
