I just reviewed this patch. I agree there is an issue, but this patch
does not appear to be a good solution. It may run the checks that need
to run, but it also caused the value of CC to be defaulted. It dropped
some additional parameters I had set. I am going to look for an
alternative solution. Reading through that email thread, it looks like
setting EGREP=egrep is enough.

Thanks for bringing the issue up.
