One thing that's almost certainly wrong in v1.7.3-rc0 is the NO_REGEX
defaults. It's a non-issue for people who run the configure script,
but the Makefile probably has the wrong defaults on some obscure
platforms.

I've CC'd people involved in Tru64, UnixWare, SCO, HP/UX, IRIX etc. It
would be really useful if you could:

  1. Get v1.7.3-rc0
  2. Compile with the defaults, and NO_REGEX=YesPlease
  3. Run `cd t && ./t7008-grep-binary.sh` and report the results.

That test is probably failing on some of these platforms.

Alternatively, just check for REG_STARTEND in regex.h (or the includes
it pulls in):

    $ grep REG_STARTEND /usr/include/regex.h
    #define REG_STARTEND (1 << 2)
