Possible syntax error in 1.4.2's configure

[Matt Schalit]

I'm not experienced with enough platforms to tell why
line 5148 in libtool-1.4.2 configure doesn't call grep -e:

      if { (eval echo configure:5149: \"$archive_cmds 2\>\&1 \| grep \" -lc \" \
>/dev/null 2\>\&1\") 1>&5; (eval $archive_cmds 2\>\&1 \| grep \" -lc \" \>/dev/n
ull 2\>\&1) 2>&5; }



Doesn't grep -e exist on your computers?  On my unix box,
which is limited to one UnixWare 7.1.1 system, grep -e is
required to protect grep from interpreting the -lc as another
switch.  (grep returns a 2 for syntax error in this case)

Please advise.  Thanks,
Matthew
