[rtems-source-builder PATCH] rtems: Add back gsed that was remove by mistake

[Frank Kühndel]

Hello Chris,

first of all, I do not use MIPS. So I have no troubles if it builds or 
not. I only want to report an observation from our continuous 
integration (CI) server.

In the past the MIPS builds failed due to the fact that the packages 
(lib)gmp-devel and (lib)expat-devel where not installed in the 
containers. A minor nuisance because all other RTEMS tools do build 
without these. I never understood why in case of MIPS the host must 
provide native packages given the fact that "gmp" and "expat" are 
apparently configured in the MIPS "bset".

You recent patch thankfully improved the situation. Our CI builds MIPS 
on Debian and Ubuntu, now. I do not fully understand why but I believe 
those where the distros where the native gmp-devel packet was needed 
before your patch.

For Alamalinux, Fedora and OpenSUSE the MIPS build still fails 
(apparently for the same reason they failed before your patch):

[...]

checking for libexpat... no
configure: error: expat is missing or unusable

error: building mipstx39-rtems6-gdb-13.1-x86_64-linux-gnu-1
   See error report: 
rsb-report-mipstx39-rtems6-gdb-13.1-x86_64-linux-gnu-1.txt
   Note: In some cases the error appears only in
   the complete build log (see --log option)


This is the end of the build log from Alamlinux 8.7. The error logs from 
the other distributions are identical.

As I indicated before, you do not need to look into this or fix this 
issue for me as I do not use MIPS and I can easily add the required 
(lib)expat-devel packet to those containers. I just write because I 
thought you maybe interested in knowing this detail.

Greetings
Frank
