gnu e?grep on RS6000 AIX

[PRIV Account]

Anyone had any luck with gnu grep 1.5 on AIX RS6000?  After playing around
with it for awhile (had to tweak the Makefile, and a few of the others), 
I finally got an executable, but it dies on a sig 9 from nowhere when I run 
it.
This is driving me nuts, and I really need an egrep that handles bigger 
regexps than the stock one.

Reply by email or to comp.sources.d please; I'm not getting the gnu groups
right now.

thanks in advance,
