Sorry to be the bearer of (nitpicked) bad news, but
this fails on AIX-7.1 and OpenSolaris 5.10.

AIX-7.1
=======

The culprit is the recent OpenBSD-5.1 progname commit
    commit af62896a5bd7c63b9569813a0eff11b6b4ab665d
    getprogname: avoid __progname vs program_invocation_short_name pitfall

which added "#ifdef HAVE_DECL___PROGNAME" to "lib/getprogname.c".
Somehow, on AIX this is defined, and so the "#elif _AIX" beneath it is never 
reach.

The compilation fails with:
   CCLD     grep
   ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: __progname
   ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more 
information.
   collect2: error: ld returned 8 exit status
   make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

I'm not sure why it gets defined.
I see the following:

  $ grep PROGNAME *
  config.h:#define HAVE_DECL___PROGNAME 1
  config.h:/* #undef HAVE_GETPROGNAME */
  config.hin:#undef HAVE_DECL___PROGNAME
  config.hin:#undef HAVE_GETPROGNAME
  config.log:| #define HAVE_DECL___PROGNAME 1
  config.log:| #define HAVE_DECL___PROGNAME 1
  [... repeated many times in config.log ...]
  config.log:| #define HAVE_DECL___PROGNAME 1
  config.log:#define HAVE_DECL___PROGNAME 1
  config.status:D["HAVE_DECL___PROGNAME"]=" 1"
  configure:  # Loop through the user's path and test for each of PROGNAME-LIST
  configure:  # Loop through the user's path and test for each of PROGNAME-LIST
  configure:  # Loop through the user's path and test for each of PROGNAME-LIST
  configure:#define HAVE_DECL___PROGNAME $ac_have_decl

Perhaps the 'configure' check is incomplete? (i.e. "$ac_have_decl" is 
truncated?).



OpenSolaris 5.10
================

On both sparc and i86, the test 'grep-dir' fails.

Seems related to this:

   + grep -f a/
   grep: a/: Is a directory
   + status_range 0 1
   + status=2
   + test 0 -le 2
   + test 2 -le 1
   + fail=1

Log attached.

I see the Dagobert Micheleson has setup automated testing on OpenSolaris,
and his builds do not fail 
(https://buildfarm.opencsw.org/buildbot/waterfall?tag=ggrep),
so perhaps my testing environment is wonky (his builds are from git and use 
'gmake',
mine are from tarball and use non-gnu 'make',
but we seem to be building on the same machines, 'unstable10x' and 
'unstable10s').

P.S.
I do not have vested interest in these platforms, it's just part of automated 
testing on multiple systems...
so if these are not show-stoppers - that's fine with me.
