Perhaps grep should work around this problem on systems like Fedora 23 where the
underlying C library does not conform to the next version of POSIX. It sounds
like a new gnulib module or two might do the trick. This should fix the problems
that Björn mentions.

I've started on this by changing the mbrtowc module in gnulib to work around the future-POSIX incompatibility of mbrtowc in glibc. See:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=b7bc3c1a4e78add4cbad39ae1a0c4fb0747b483f

I plan to change GNU grep to use this new facility, and to add some grep test cases for this issue.
