I've checked the needed changes, and it would be too invasive. In
grep.el, host specific settings are computed by global variables.
Furthermore, the compilation buffer is created only after computing
these settings.

This would require a larger rewrite of grep.el. I believe it isn't worth then.

Closing the bug.

Best regards, Michael.
