The file /usr/bin/cxref-cpp-configure embeds the path to grep, which is
in a different location on a usrmerge vs. non-usrmerge system.

EGREP="/bin/grep·-E"
vs.
EGREP="/usr/bin/grep·-E"
Patch attached which hard-codes the value of EEGREP to use the
non-usrmerge path (e.g. /bin/grep), as usrmerge installations typically
have compatibility symlinks, but not vice-versa.
With this patch applied (and the patch for timestamps previously
submitted), cxref should build reproducibly on
tests.reproducible-builds.org in the testing/bookworm suite. On
tests.reproducible-builds.org unstable and experimental also vary build
paths, which trigger issues in the documentation.
Thanks for maintaining cxref!
live well,

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cpp/cxref-cpp-configure.in: Use specific path for EGREP.
This hard-codes the path to grep to ensure reproducible builds
regardless of weather the package was built on a usrmerge or
non-usrmerge system.
Passing EGREP via configure did not appear to work, possibly due to
makefile variable inheritence issues, though that would be preferable
if it could be made to work.
