On Solaris 10, xymonnet/c-ares-shim.sh is trying to pass "-e" options to 
grep and failing during the make.

/usr/bin/grep doesn't handle -e
/usr/xpg4/bin/grep does

c-ares-shim.sh is just calling 'grep'. Isn't there something in the 
process which defines $GREP and $EGREP to point to an appropriate 
version of grep?
