[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Some projects seem very attached to historical typos, I haven't
checked carefully to determine if this is such a project. Do note that
`Alain Magloire`'s is among the things that was historically
misspelled (see 2001-02-17).

There are a couple of doubled words and their existence makes it much
harder to understand what the text is trying to say. Afict, they're
purely errant.

Thanks. I've applied that in your name
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/commit/?id=16f9ca8ed1826063920f480ec341f20b0313482e

I added a tiny additional fix to your bootstrap change and propagated
that into gnulib:
