<listitem><para><userinput>--disable-perl-regexp</userinput>: This makes sure
that <userinput>grep</userinput> does not get linked against a PCRE library
that may be present on the host, but would not be available once we enter the
chroot environment.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><userinput>--with-included-regex</userinput>: This ensures that
Grep uses its internal regular expression code. Without it, it will use
the code from Glibc, which is known to be slightly buggy.</para></listitem>

<para>Compile the programs:</para>

<para>This package has a test suite available which can perform a number of
checks to ensure it built correctly. Should you choose to run it, the
following command will do so:</para>
<screen><userinput>make check</userinput></screen>
<para>Then install them and their documentation:</para>
<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
