coreutils 5.95 on IRIX 5.3

[Georg Schwarz]

Dear developers,

coreutils 5.95, unlike prior releases, seems to build relatively fine  
on IRIX 5.3.

There are at leasr two issues however:

- configure does not find /sbin/grep; settting GREP environment  
variable works around this.
- IRIX 5.3's sed does not like some syntax used by config.status:


lorenz 133% ./config.status config.h
config.status: creating config.h
sed: command garbled: s,^\([     ]*#[    ]*\)[^  ]*\([   ][      ] 
*_UINT32_T\)[  (].*$,\1define\2 1 ,
sed: command garbled: s,^\([     ]*#[    ]*\)[^  ]*\([   ][      ] 
*GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED\)[      (].*$,\1define\2 1 ,
sed: command garbled: s,^\([     ]*#[    ]*\)[^  ]*\([   ][      ] 
*re_search_2\)[        (].*$,\1define\2 rpl_re_search_2 ,
config.status: config.h is unchanged

Using gnu sed instead works around this. There does not seem to be  
support for the SED variable in the configure scripts though, which  
would be helpful.



Finally, here's the output of make check:
