    I appreciate the feedback and the advice. While the original problem was that I was forcing grep to always colorize its output, I am tkaing a note to compile in chroot from here on, indeed. Commented Mar 24, 2014 at 20:15
  • @dimitko Yeah. It was a little on the jerk side, though, maybe. I think I may have tempered it a bit in postscript and added a little more info. Commented Mar 25, 2014 at 3:09
  • I agree, and don't worry about it, I didn't take offense. ;) I felt incredibly stupid after discovering the "solution". Even if I don't use the GREP_COLOR environment variable, I believe grep assumes auto-colorizing by default anyway. So in the end, I just shouldn't have meddled with it. :D Anyway though, and again, experimenting in chroot definitely works better, can't deny it. Commented Mar 25, 2014 at 11:10
