On SunOS grep, which is installed in /usr/bin, doesn't accept the option

Maybe it's possible to check if which grep accepts this option?
That should already be done (i.e., the xpg4 version should be chosen automagically).
The xpg4 version is not in the Solaris default path, therefore, it is unlikely to be noticed by autoconf.
Well, new enough Autoconf checks for {,e,f}grep in /usr/xpg4/bin as well, and checks for -e and acceptance of long lines. But I failed to see that this check is in 2.59b only, not 2.54. (I checked this now on a Solaris machine :)
Is there an easy way to replace AC_PROG_EGREP with a better version in libtool.m4 iff Autoconf's version is not good enough? We can hardly force Libtool users to Autoconf 2.59b.
I don't think we can fix all calls to {,e,f}grep and $EGREP, because some of the arguments are user input (but I only checked briefly).
Elmar wrote that a Libtool update fixed this, but I still think that together with old Automake this failure could possibly show up somewhere.
