1.1.2 on Solaris 2.5: bootstrap failure in libio

[Edwards, Phil]

Recap:  we were experiencing the same error, but building 1.1.1 instead,
also on Solaris 2.5.

Fix:  We weren't using GNU sed at all.  However, placing /usr/xpg4/bin
before /usr/bin resulted in a different sed (the X/Open standard one instead
of Sun's), and that seems to have fixed it.  The differences in command-line
options between the two are summarized in the sed man page, but I don't know
whether it was one of those options that caused EGCS to fail.

Much thanks goes to the usual collection of genuises (it's more fun to say
genii than genuises, even though it's incorrect) here.
