Thanks for checking this.

Homebrew complicates your work. I make sure my test Macs have never had Homebrew
or Macports installed. When I played with this a long time ago the install
prefix was /usr/local and after a while I found I had no idea what was installed
and what was provided by the OS and if the base OS versions were overwritten. I
believe Macports is not doing this these days (if it ever did) but I have not
looked.

Does the GNU sed upstream project have a fix?

Sorry, I see Homebrew and Macports as user options and not a project option. We
need repeatable builds and not builds based on a local checkout of some packages.
