First, I can report that bootstrapping gcc-4.8.0 works if I use
gnugrep instead of bsdgrep.  The above explains why I had previously
seen the failure as I was using an older bsdgrep.

Second, an apology is owed to the clang gang as I attributed the 
problem to clang as it showed up on my system after converted 
everything over to clang.

I tend to agree with your assessment that r246817 should be
reverted, because I hit this issue in configure scripts and
there is a large amount of software that uses autotool for
configuration.
