--- Begin Message --- Subject: Re: bug#25647: grep 2.28 fails to build on CentOS 6 Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2017 15:01:11 -0800 User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/45.7.0 Thanks for reporting the problem. It looks like we did not sufficiently test 'grep' on older systems when we made some fixes that anticipate adding multithreading support. I installed the attached patch to fix the problem, and this should appear in the next 'grep' release.
