Here's one more snapshot, including a bug fix and two
portability fixes. If nothing comes up, this will become
grep-2.19 in the next day or two.

I've built and run "make check" on that snapshot, on the following 
platforms, and found only minor glitches.  All tests passed or skipped 
or were expected to fail, with two exceptions: test-fcntl-safer and 
test-openat-safer failed on Fedora 20 with clang 3.4 x86-64.  These 
aren't grep tests proper and clang is a secondary compiler on that 
platform, so I didn't investigate it further.

AIX 7.1 POWER 32-bit (gcc 4.8.1)
Fedora 20 (both gcc 4.9.0 and clang 3.4, and both x86 and x86-64)
IRIX 6.5 MIPS 32-bit (gcc 3.4.6, as IRIX cc can't handle C99)
Solaris 10 sparc 32-bit (Sun C 5.12)
Solaris 11.1 x86-64 (Sun C 5.12)
Ubuntu 14.04 x86-64 (gcc 4.8.2)

Here are more details if you're interested:


On AIX, 'open' isn't declared in openat_proc_name.  This is a gnulib 
issue, which I've worked around in 
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commit;h=f345edc03da1a81f313dd70305764025bffeb1fa>; 
I doubt whether it's serious here.


The IRIX build has the following warnings when linking 'grep'.

ld32: WARNING 84 : ../lib/libgreputils.a is not used for resolving any 
symbol.
ld32: WARNING 127: Two shared objects with the same soname, 
/usr/lib32/mips3/libc.so and /usr/lib32/libc.so, have been been linked. 
This is probably due to a missing -L specification. Ignoring the latter.

and there are similar diagnostics when linking the gnulib-test programs. 
 The gnulib-test harness took too long (and I was running late) so I 
quit before it had a chance to finish building.


On Ubuntu 14.04, if I configure with --enable-gcc-warnings, compilation 
fails as follows.  I expect this failure is spurious:

In file included from mbsstr.c:32:0:
str-kmp.h: In function 'knuth_morris_pratt':
str-kmp.h:35:1: error: stack protector not protecting local variables:

Thank you for all the testing and for reporting the results!
I agree that none of those should delay the release.
