Thanks, this makes sense.  The configure file has the following:

# grep never invokes mbrtowc or mbrlen on empty input,
# so don't worry about this common bug,
# as working around it would merely slow grep down.
gl_cv_func_mbrtowc_empty_input='assume yes’

Isn’t this test too strict, then?  Or is there some way to disable/allow failure for this particular test?  It seems like it should not prevent a build.  Thanks.
