I've done some googling and "think" the problem has something to do with
the configure for grep.

http://www.haible.de/bruno/gettext-FAQ.html

During the configure it finds libintl.h and ends up defining
HAVE_LIBINTL_H in config.h. But none of the final links during the build
of grep include the option '-lintl' to link the library.

According to the website above, this has something to do with @INTLLIBS@
in Makefile.in but my knowledge of how the autoconf stuff works is
pretty limited so I'm not sure how to fix it.

Can anyone offer any help?

Thanks,
Hartley
