Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Old story of our patches not working with the latest grep version. Unfortunately the obvious fix (rebuilding autotools) will fail because wiretap tries to use AM_PATH_GLIB that is part of the glib 1.2 macros and it doesn't ship it.

I'd suggest getting it fixed upstream by dropping glib 1.2 support altogether, anyway this needs a bit more work than a simple eautoreconf.
