I've just been through a collection of build logs on more than 75
flavors of Unix for grep-2.23, and am pleased to report that all tests
passed on 46 of them. Most of the others reported only 1 or 2
failures, but because the failures are similar across platforms, I
summarize them here:

Some of those failures may be related to deficient multibyte and UTF-8
support on some platforms; I wonder whether there might be a simple
one-line test that could check for such deficiencies and suppress the
rest of the test if so. It would be nice if the tests could mostly
succeed everywhere, even if that means that some tests are suppressed
because of limited platform support.
In addition, compilation on MacOS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and 10.11 (El
Capitan) produces these warnings from clang masquerading as gcc:
