You don't need to recompile; you can just use 'grep -a'.
I was referring to the default behaviour, as it used to be, without extra

I apologize for having no time to check myself. What is the behavior
if you set the locale back to C/POSIX for grep?
env LC_ALL=C grep someencodedfile

Then everything is hunky dory as it used to be with V2.20 and before
(since 1986 in my case!).
