Note that there still needs to be yet another set of fixes on
inclhack.def for the Solaris seds.  So if issues that the patches fix
seem to be on topic with your project, I would simply advise using GNU
sed in the meantime.  The sunfreeware.com packages of the GNU build
tools work fine with the GCC snapshots, as do the recent source
releases.

The Solaris /bin/sed and /usr/bin/sed appear to be identical, btw.
There are no seds in /usr/xpg4/bin or /usr/xpg6/bin in the 2008/05
Solaris release.  Haven't seen at /usr/ucb/sed yet.
