The sed lines in src/unix/Makefile confuse the grep distributed with Solaris
that gets configured by ./configure.

Well, it calls sed not grep! Which version was that -- it works for me and for several others. I have SED = /usr/xpg4/bin/sed (see file Makeconf), and that is 'distributed with Solaris': perhaps you do not have it installed?

The danger of changing R to fix a broken OS tool is that the change may break on other people's tools -- better to fix the tool.


Switching from a separator of ':' to a separator of ',' fixes the problem.
