I am attaching revise-sed.patch that attempts to fix this.
To try this out, you need to modify your build between extract and configure:
1. make the build depend on recent automake and autoconf versions
2. apply the patch
3. run autoreconf -isvf
4. only then run configure and proceed with the build as usual
If the build still fails, please send me
a. the resulting subst.in and subst files
b. a copy of your sed manual page
c. your new build log
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Compile Logfile
please do not assign users or change priorities without justfication as comment - have you talked to Ralf and is he willing to fix the bug?
