 In rules/manual-package-config.mk the following use of grep will cause
 later errors if -n (prepending line numbers) is set in GREP_OPTIONS.

 {{{
 grep -v '^#pragma GCC' $$@.raw | \
             sed -e 's/""//g' -e 's/:[   ]*,/: /g' >$$@
 }}}

 It causes parsing issues later, with errors like:

 {{{
 : Warning: Unrecognized field 420 on line 420
 : Warning: Unrecognized field 419 on line 419
 ...
 : Warning: Unrecognized field 1 on line 1
 : missing id field
 : invalid package identifier:
 : invalid package key:
 }}}

 It may be worth adding an `export GREP_OPTIONS=` somewhere in the make
 file as it's reasonably difficult to figure out the actual problem from
 the error message. I would do this and submit a patch but I'm not sure if
 it is desired since GREP_OPTIONS is now deprecated.
