Perhaps sed is a bit different on GNU-based and BSD-based systems.
Potentially. That is why I have written it such that you can just run the build similar to make all SED='/sbin/busybox sed' in order to have it use a "good" sed implementation. I have tested the sed stuff with GNU sed and busybox sed, but it appears I need to add more seds to my test suite. What kind of sed does FreeBSD use? Is it minised? Not being familiar with FreeBSD, the only sed on FreeBSD I could find was minised[1] and that does indeed fail to parse our sed expressions.
