Test failures when Git is built with libpcre and grep is built without it

Hello!

I'm attempting to package Git for our new Linux distribution and I have run in to a failure on our PowerPC builder while running the test suite.

The PowerPC builder runs a tiny version of grep(1) that was not built with PCRE. As such, grep -P returns 2 and prints:

grep: support for the -P option is not compiled into this
- --disable-perl-regexp binary

However, our Git build *does* link against libpcre. This causes a tests numbered 142 and 143 to fail in t7810-grep.sh.

I am not sure the best way to handle this but I felt it would be prudent to inform you of this issue. I will be happy to provide any other information you may require.

Best, arw
