Thanks. I've applied that in your name
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/commit/?id=16f9ca8ed1826063920f480ec341f20b0313482e

I added a tiny additional fix to your bootstrap change and propagated
that into gnulib:

Some projects seem very attached to historical typos, I haven't
checked carefully to determine if this is such a project. Do note that
`Alain Magloire`'s is among the things that was historically
misspelled (see 2001-02-17).

There are a couple of doubled words and their existence makes it much
harder to understand what the text is trying to say. Afict, they're
purely errant.
