The grep development team has been making a number of "improvements" to grep recently that have changed the behavior so as to have broken some scripts that use it. Each new release seems to break something. I don't know specifically what changed between 2.25 and 2.26. You might try setting LC_ALL=C in your shell before executing your build script. I now execute grep using a function that includes LC_ALL=C grep ... to avoid at least that set of problems with the newer versions of grep. If that doesn't fix the problem, you may have to find the line in the build script that is now broken, find out how it is broken, and change the invocation of grep to fix it.
