+ When building gcc on a hppa*-*-hpux10 platform, the @samp{fixincludes} step
+ (which involves running a @code{sed} script) fails because of a bug in
+ the vendor's implementation of @code{sed}. Currently the only known
+ workaround is to install GNU @code{sed} before building GCC@. The file
+ @file{sed-2.05.bin.hpux10} available from mirrors of the GNU
+ distribution area is a precompiled binary for that platform.
I already checked in a workaround for one bug that was specific to the
HP/UX 10.20 version of sed:

* fixincludes: Add a hack to the big sed script to work around a
bug in the sed implementation on HP/UX 10.20.
What is the bug that you are discussing here? Would it be possible to
work around it?
Ian
