Bug 2264449

Your component fails to build with the new version of autoconf, due to the following error:

-----------
+ mv '/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/wxGTK-3.2.4-5.fc40.x86_64/usr/bin/wxrc*' /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/wxGTK-3.2.4-5.fc40.x86_64/usr/libexec/wxGTK
mv: cannot stat '/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/wxGTK-3.2.4-5.fc40.x86_64/usr/bin/wxrc*': No such file or directory

RPM build errors:
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.9ZGWhY (%install)
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.9ZGWhY (%install)
-----------

This is a side effect of:

-----------
checking whether catch.hpp file exists... yes
../configure: line 48270: -v: command not found
../configure: line 48270: -v: command not found
../configure: line 48270: -v: command not found
configure: creating ./config.status
-----------

The reason for the failure is the use of `$EGREP` in configure.in whereas AC_PROG_EGREP isn't required. This didn't show up on earlier version of autoconf by luck (another macro was likely using EGREP internally that may not anymore).

Looking at the rest of the configure.in script, its use is likely an error (everywhere else `grep` is directly used).

Therefore, here is a patch proposal to fix the issue:
