Hi!
That's a problem: apparently it does indeed not support --null or -Z:
https://boxmatrix.info/wiki/Property:grep
There is another flag we could use, which seems to have a similar enough
effect: -z. But from what I can tell, it would make OpenBSD unsupported:
https://man.openbsd.org/grep
Perhaps it would be best to just file a feature request for busybox's
support for --null/-Z. Better ideas welcome.
In the meantime, you can customize the entry for 'grep' in
xref-search-program-alist to use -z.
