    MIPS: Use "grep -E" instead of "egrep"
    
    [ Upstream commit d42f0c6ad502c9f612410e125ebdf290cce8bdc3 ]
    
    The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build
    now contains warnings that look like:
            egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
    fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead.
    
    Here are the steps to install the latest grep:
    
      wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz
      tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz
      cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make
      sudo make install
      export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
