+- update to 2.16
+  * Fix gnulib-provided maint.mk to report correct version number
+  * The fix to make \s and \S work with multi-byte white space
+    broke the use of each shortcut whenever followed by a repetition
+    operator. For example, \s*, \s+, \s? and \s{3} would all
+    malfunction in a multi-byte locale.
+  * The fix to make grep -P work better with UTF-8 made it possible
+    for grep to evoke a larger set of PCRE errors, some of which
+    could trigger an abort.  E.g., this would abort:
+    printf '\x82'|LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep -P y
+    Now grep handles arbitrary PCRE errors
+  * Handle very long lines (2GiB and longer) on systems with a
+    deficient read system call.
+- removed patches:
+  * grep-gnulib-ppc64le.patch, upstream source removed
+
