I reproduce it on Alpine Linux 3.14, with a tarball created on a glibc system: ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=../testdir uniwidth/width The consequence is severe: No tarball created with the current gnulib will build on Alpine Linux! The problem originates in the commit from 2021-12-25 that introduced module 'gen-header'. I had tested it on several platforms [1], but Alpine Linux was not among them. Alpine Linux ships with many buggy/deficient utilities, and 'sed' is apparently one of them. You find its source code here: [2]. Paul, can you think of alternate ways to define SED_HEADER_TO_AT_t ?
