Gnulib maintains a list of portability issues for many POSIX functions. None of the issues currently listed for execvp etc. seem like they'd be much of a problem for practical grep usage. Please see:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/execvp.html

If there are significant issues that Gnulib doesn't document, it'd be nice to know what they are, as we should fix them in Gnulib and/or describe them in the Gnulib documentation. This would benefit other GNU applications.
