[Build-common-hackers] Bug#573925: GREP_OPTIONS breaks build

[sergio]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.71
Severity: normal

My $GREP_OPTIONS is "--color=auto --initial-tab --line-number"
And build breaks at
CABAL_VERSION=$(shell cat *.cabal | egrep -i '^\s*version:' | head -n1 | sed -r 's,^\s*version:\s*,,i')
in /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/hlibrary.mk
With empty $GREP_OPTIONS all works fine.

Perhaps this is not cdbs fault, but the one who calls this scripts.
