The logic in Makefile.inc1 builds usr.bin/grep as the bootstrap grep
when BOOTSTRAP_ALL_TOOLS is set (e.g. when building on macOS/Linux).
If you think this should be gnu/usr.bin/grep instead I can revert this
change and update Makefile.inc1.
We have been using usr.bin/grep for bootstrap in CheriBSD for a long
time now and it works fine so I'm not sure whether we need to use GNU
grep for bootstrapping?
