Thanks for this fast feedback. Your explanation sounds very reasonable. As you may have noticed this a makefile out of openwrt with is mainlined there.
1) I downgraded to grep 2.20. Issue is gone with the same environment. So this is in my eyes a regression. 2) I will also open a report at fedora, maybe the use some strange setting in building the new packet. 3) I will send a short notice to openwrt asking if they think it is fine to use ë or ö. I personally have a strong opinion on that ;) Am 07.05.2015 6:23 nachm. schrieb "Paul Eggert" <egg...@cs.ucla.edu>: > That file uses ISO 8859 encoding (presumably Latin-1 or Latin-9), so you > need to grep it in a locale compatible with that encoding.
