Public bug reported: When building the xindy-rules package, the file "make- rules/inputenc/Makefile.in" uses grep to remove comment lines from latin?.xdy files and concatenate them into latin.xdy. This fails because gnu grep recognizes some of the files as binary and, instead of outputting the expected lines, simply writes out "Binary file (standard input) matches", which is obviously invalid. Therefore, trying to use xindy with a simple LaTeX document results in
