bpo-38527: fix configure script for Solaris (GH-16845)

miss-islington · wiggin15 · web-flow · commit fc036409226d · 2020-04-01T08:38:17.000-07:00
On Solaris, the regular "grep" command may be an old version that fails to search a binary file. We need to use the correct command (ggrep, in our case), which is found by the configure script earlier.
