Hi Apostolos,

thanks for analyzing the problem.  In order to completely fix/avoid this I'd
need some OpenSolaris specific information.

(1) in your first run, the one which failed, did you have /usr/gnu/bin in
your PATH? If so, certainly after the directory of Solaris sed.

(2) do you still have the output (Work/build.log) from your first run, or if
not could your try that once again?

In Work/build.log there are lines "checking for a sed that does"..., what is
the result? Solaris sed or GNU sed?

(3) do you know what part of the expression can't be handled by Solaris sed?
