An old version of z/OS (i.e., lacking a new enough gcc) is not a reasonable
portability target.
This is insufficient justification to dumb-down the code,
but in dfa.c, the impact is minimal, so I've made the changes there.

Subject: [PATCH] maint: accommodate -Wdeclaration-after-statement, but only
in dfa.c,
and because doing so does not impact readability/maintainability.
This is solely to accommodate gawk users who are stuck with ancient gcc.
This is no excuse to change any other code in grep.
* src/dfa.c (dfaoptimize, parse_bracket_exp): Move declaration
to precede first statement in block.
