Sadly I can not find a line that looks exactly like that.

Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...

configure: error: no working 'grep' found
  A working 'grep' command is needed to build GNU Grep.
  This 'grep' should support -e and long lines.
  On Solaris 10, install the package SUNWggrp or SUNWxcu4.
  On Solaris 11, install the package text/gnu-grep or system/xopen/xcu4.
