Hi, I downloaded grep commit f0d97db2. Bypassed export GNULIB_SRCDIR. Did ./bootstrap, git submodule..., git commit...., ./configure and make -j17.
Got this error: > CC dirname-lgpl.o > In file included from basename-lgpl.c:25: > ./string.h:624:5: error: token "@" is not valid in preprocessor expressions > 624 | #if @GNULIB_FREE_POSIX@ Also: > make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... > In file included from ./localeinfo.h:24, > from localeinfo.c:24: > ./wchar.h:687:5: error: token "@" is not valid in preprocessor expressions > 687 | #if @GNULIB_FREE_POSIX@ s/@GNULIB_FREE_POSIX@/1/ in string.h and wchar.h. Now: > CC malloc/dynarray_at_failure.o > In file included from basename-lgpl.c:25: > ./string.h:625:7: error: token "@" is not valid in preprocessor expressions > 625 | # if (@REPLACE_FREE@ && !defined free \ Also: > In file included from ./localeinfo.h:24, > from localeinfo.c:24: > ./wchar.h:688:7: error: token "@" is not valid in preprocessor expressions > 688 | # if (@REPLACE_FREE@ && !defined free \ s/@REPLACE_FREE@/0/ in string.h and wchar.h. Now grep builds. I went back to the clone and tried ./bootstrap &c. but without updating gnulib. That builds. Ran `git bisect` in gnulib. The problem starts with commit a4a2d039: > Author: Paul Eggert <egg...@cs.ucla.edu> > Date: Tue Sep 7 17:51:39 2021 -0700 > > string, wchar: avoid some namespace pollution > > * lib/string.in.h, lib/wchar.in.h: > (free): Declare by hand instead of including stdlib.h. > This avoids some namespace pollution.

Diffed with previous version but my grasp of autotools is inadequate to figure out what needs to be done. Over to you, Cheers ... Duncan.
