I was able to work around the EGREP_TRADITIONAL issue by reordering macros. The issue is conditional code blocks which mean EGREP_TRADITIONAL was not set in some configure option combinations leading to obtuse failures. Our testing so far shows the following three sets of issues. Macro ordering

We're overdue for a new release, so here's a snapshot in preparation for that, which I want to call 2.73 (skipping 2.72). There has never been an autoconf-2.72 release, yet `git describe` now prints 2.72c and has been printing strings like v2.72a-92-g8db00aa8 for years. If you maintain a package
