<pre>The configure scripts outright use `grep`, `tr`, and a number of other tools
under the assumption they accept more modern parameters for the GNU equivalent
of those tools.
For example, when checking the linker version it attempts to execute `grep -q`
as part of the check, which fails because it isn't a valid option for sun's
`grep` command.
To name a few I've noticed that are used outright instead of through a variable
(after finding the 'right' one to use):
grep
tr
sed
head
awk
There's probably others, but I wasn't being entirely thorough.</pre>
