On Solaris 11.4, 203 tests fail. All of them because they use 'grep' and the Solaris /usr/bin/grep is old. But there is also /usr/bin/ggrep, which is GNU grep version 3.1. In fact, config.status contains two AC_SUBSTed variables: grep -> "/usr/bin/ggrep" egrep -> "/usr/bin/ggrep -E" But the test suite appears to not use these variables.
If I place a symlink <somedir>/grep -> /usr/bin/ggrep in a directory in $PATH, the build succeeds with no test failures. Bruno
