Hi,
When building the current grep package on glibc 2.8, the configure
check for glibc's regex will get confused since it does not define
_GNU_SOURCE. As a result, it builds the package with the internal copy
of the regex library, which seems to be seriously broken (e. g. grep
-i does not work any more, see https://launchpad.net/bugs/241990).
I worked around this by explicitly configuring with
--without-included-regex. Upstream should fix their configure test to
define _GNU_SOURCE (and maybe also their internal regex lib), but as a
distribution the configure argument suffices for now.
Please note that this does not directly affect sid/lenny ATM, since we
are frozen with glibc 2.7. However, it is a future trap which we
should avoid altogether in Debian, so please feel free to apply it
right now.
Thanks,
Martin
