configure: error: no working 'grep' found
A working 'grep' command is needed to build GNU Grep.
This 'grep' should support -e and long lines.
On Solaris 10, install the package SUNWggrp or SUNWxcu4.
On Solaris 11, install the package text/gnu-grep or system/xopen/xcu4.

This is bizarre. Are we into some strange autotools hell rat-hole here ?
If that's all the output you saw, there is indeed something funny going
on on your platform.
There is a typo in your script. The output of tee was put into
`pwd`.config.log, which is probably not what you want. However, that
typo would not explain the output you show.
Try running it without piping the result into "tee". If that doesn't
seem to work, try running it with "sh -x ./configure", without any other
options.
