Using libtool on SunOS causes a lot of masseages like:
Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . .
grep: illegal option -- e
grep: illegal option -- L
grep: illegal option -- /
grep: illegal option -- o
grep: illegal option -- p
I'm quite surprised to see this.
It seems, that libtools is expecting GNU grep.
No.
On SunOS grep, which is installed in /usr/bin, doesn't accept the option
'-e'. But there is another grep installed on the system (in /usr/xpg4/bin),
which accept this option.
Maybe it's possible to check if which grep accepts this option?
That should already be done (i.e., the xpg4 version should be chosen
automagically).

ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.2 (1.1220.2.60 2004/01/25 12:25:08)
Please update to at least 1.5.10 and report whether the problem is
fixed. If not so: how can I easily reproduce this problem?
Which Autoconf version do you use? If <2.54, try to see if the problem
goes away after upgrading to a newer Autoconf (if that is possible).
In any case, if the problem persists after Libtool upgrade, I'd like to
see a shell trace of a libtool run where this happens (`libtool --debug'
or `$CONFIG_SHELL -x libtool').
Thanks,
Ralf
