           Summary: Unportable use of sed in binutils/Makefile.am
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.21
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden


In 2.21.1, binutils/Makefile.am contains a command like this:

    sed
"/^program_transform_name=/cprogram_transform_name=$(program_transform_name)" <
$< > $@

However, non-GNU sed requires an escaped newline after c, so this command is
not portable (build fails on e.g. Solaris and MacOS X).
