As far as I know, it should not be necessary to have bash to configure TL.
I'm able to finish build afrer remove the target 'sedscipt' from
Makefile.in from /kpathsea/man and /web2c/man/ and all 'echo s%...'
replace it with one 'touch sedscipt'.
Sorry, but no one else can debug your system's sed. All I can suggest
is to extract the sed command that fails into a standalone script, cut
it down until you find the part that fails, and then maybe we can find
some workaround.
And what sed do you have? I assume some version of GNU sed. I'm
surprised that there is a problem; perhaps it was a bug in some
particular release. If you have any way to update your sed, that might
be worth a try.
Best,
Karl
