Unfortunately abovementioned grep-0.7.tar.gz is
broken.
After making it on the CURRENT system I can only
see:
grep: filename: Undefined error: 0
for every filename.
This caused by very "unusual" return values for
'grep_open' (and other '..._open') function which is declared
as 'int' (and return int result) and compared with NULL ;-(
I prefer not to include the patch for this because
I am uncompatible with such trics as:
return ((f = fopen(path, mode)) != NULL) - 1;
