GDB 4.7 installation fails when running ``munch'' on Solaris 2.1
when GNU egrep is installed and before /usr/bin/egrep in $PATH.
(Symptom: gdb/init.c won't compile)

GNU egrep parses the regexp '|__?initialize_' as
<empty> or __?initialize. System V egrep has the behaviour
expected by the writer of the gdb/munch script. (I.e.,
the regexp \|__?initialize_').

Fix  (works with both egreps, add \ before |):
