Hi Chris, and thanks for the heads-up. A patch of mine introduced the
unreproducibility issue. I'll upload a new version replacing it with an
upstream patch that should be OK.

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that grep could not be built reproducibly.

Patch attached. Note that it modifies a file that is already modified
by an existing patch; I'll leave it up to you how you wish to merge
these.
