Hi Jim,
The proposed patch is solely clean-up on the gnulib side.
As the subject implies, initially I thought this was the solution
to the grep-configure problem.
As a pure clean-up patch, it is OK. But you confused me completely
by proposing it under the subject grep fails to build on

It is possible to disable the body of these two expansions by
assigning values to GREP and EGREP inside the configure script.
But with no grep program already installed, that will always fail.
You can implement a basic grep that is good enough for

I would suggest more comments.
- What is the purpose of this override?

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #31646 (project grep):
The bug is even more egregious since if you delete the section in the
configure file that tests for GNU grep, it merrily configures, builds and
installs. So it is a spurious dependency that can be excised without any
pain.
