Would also be happy of a patched Win64-version of 3.11. The Git-for-Windows version still is 3.0 from 2017 and I use your patched 3.8 version. Maybe you wait until the -r switch bug is fixed? Thank you for patching.

Unfortunately, I don't have much free time, even for reading emails. Please don't take it personally if I don't respond for a long time.

I quite accidentally discovered that by setting the host type to mingw64 or mingw32 while the grep configuration, the emulation of the readdir() function in gnulib is enabled.

Therefore, now recursive file search is working, however, rather slowly compared to pcre2grep or grep-3.11 from Cygwin.

I recommend checking out ugrep. It works for Windows and is compatible with grep syntax.
