[New-bugs-announce] [issue7716] IPv6 detection, don't assume existence of /usr/xpg4/bin/grep

[Fabian Groffen]

New submission from Fabian Groffen <grobian at gentoo.org>:

The solaris case implementation of the ipv6 check assumes /usr/xpg4/bin/grep is available.  This gives error messages on e.g. IRIX where /etc/netconfig is available, but no /usr/xpg4/bin/grep.  This is simply fixed by using $GREP which is set by configure, and will be set to /usr/xpkg4/bin/grep if no suitable grep was found in the path.

Attached patch incorporates this change.
