Relying on PATH is not good, imho.

So:

1) Use something like:

.if exists(/usr/bin/egrep)
EGREP?=	/usr/bin/egrep
.else
EGREP?=	/bin/egrep
.endif

2) Let the bootstraping process adjust defs.Linux.mk to match the actual
system on the fly.
I have some patches to fix the 'bootstrap' program to automatically
locate sed (and all other tools), so it does not break in linux...
This may be extended to the defs.Linux.mk file too...

Mmm... Linux...
