+fix MakeMaker issues with using wrong SHELL/GREP
+
+A set of substitution is being processed to all target scripts with sed by
+replacing some key words with the detected values at configure time, this
+is exactly not compliant with cross compling, and will cause missing path
+errors at run time like:
+"/usr/bin/zgrep: line 230: /usr/bin/grep: No such file or directory"
+
+Fixed by removing unneeded substitution and using real runtime paths
+instead.
