    _______________________________________________________

Details:

I am trying to build GNU grep 2.7 on Solaris 10, and the 'configure' script
fails with:

checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... configure: error: no
acceptable grep could be found in
/usr/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/opt/solstudio12.2/bin:/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin

I would rather not have to install an old binary built by somebody, just so I
can build the new version.
