/usr/xpg4/bin should contain a working grep.  Just add that to the
start of your PATH before running configure.

I think it is perfectly reasonable for the configure script to expect
a POSIX shell environment.  Hacks like this should be avoided when a
simple PATH setting makes things work correctly.
