[Bug libgcj/37019] [4.2 Regression] Inconsistent gcc-4.2.3/libjava/configure uses "grep" and "egrep" and "grep -E" and "$EGGREP" but not ggrep -- sed also is trouble

------- Comment #1 from rwild at gcc dot gnu dot org  2008-08-04 08:57 -------
I see the egrep issue.

Can you please specify for which grep and sed commands you see errors?

The assumption is that all systems do have sed and grep available, but
that the vendor versions of these tools have some quirks that make it
unsuitable for some (but not all) uses.  Wrt. egrep and fgrep, there
are systems for which 'grep -E' and 'grep -F' have to be used.

If any of these assumptions are not valid, then I would like to know
details, so that the Autoconf manual can be updated to reflect this.
