What you need is not `grep', but the ID-utils (v2gnu/idu32b.zip from the 
DJGPP archives).  After you run `mkid' once on the entire DJGPP source 
tree, it will print files which reference given identifiers MUCH faster 
than `grep'.  And since ID-utils only access their data-base, they don't 
actually need the sources, and you can zip them away, to conserve disk 
space (and use any of the available tools to look at a certain file after 
ID-utils tell you which one is that).

Apart from speed, ID-utils have an advantage of actually understanding 
some of the syntax of C, so they won't be fooled by keywords like `for' 
and `while' and other garbage.
