Details:

I am building Octave 3.7.7 on OSX 10.8.5 
which provides a broken version of sed in /usr/bin.

I installed GNU sed as /opt/local/bin/gsed.
If I configure with


configure SED=/opt/local/bin/gsed


GNU sed is correctly detected by configure:


$ grep -C1 gsed config.log 
configure:7757: checking for a usable sed
configure:7835: result: /opt/local/bin/gsed
configure:7841: checking for perl
--
configure:17626: checking for a sed that does not truncate output
configure:17690: result: /opt/local/bin/gsed
configure:17708: checking for fgrep
--
ac_cv_path_GREP=/opt/local/bin/grep
ac_cv_path_SED=/opt/local/bin/gsed
ac_cv_path_ac_pt_PKG_CONFIG=/opt/local/bin/pkg-config
--
octave_cv_lib_z=yes
octave_cv_prog_sed=/opt/local/bin/gsed
octave_cv_sizeof_fortran_integer=yes
--
ROUND_LIBM=''
SED='/opt/local/bin/gsed'
SET_MAKE=''


yet, when I run 'make', 'sed' is still used:


rm -f configmake.h-t && \
        { echo '/* DO NOT EDIT! GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY! */'; \
          echo '#define PREFIX "/opt/local"'; \
          echo '#define EXEC_PREFIX "/opt/local"'; \

          echo '#define PKGLIBEXECDIR "/opt/local/libexec/octave"'; \
        } | sed '/""/d' > configmake.h-t && \
        mv -f configmake.h-t configmake.h
 rm -f c++defs.h-t c++defs.h && \
        sed -n -e '/_GL_CXXDEFS/,$p' \
          < ../build-aux/snippet/c++defs.h \
          > c++defs.h-t && \
        mv c++defs.h-t c++defs.h
 rm -f arg-nonnull.h-t arg-nonnull.h && \
        sed -n -e '/GL_ARG_NONNULL/,$p' \
          < ../build-aux/snippet/arg-nonnull.h \
          > arg-nonnull.h-t && \
        mv arg-nonnull.h-t arg-nonnull.h
 rm -f warn-on-use.h-t warn-on-use.h && \
        sed -n -e '/^.ifndef/,$p' \
          < ../build-aux/snippet/warn-on-use.h \
          > warn-on-use.h-t && \
        mv warn-on-use.h-t warn-on-use.h
 rm -f unused-parameter.h-t unused-parameter.h && \
        sed -n -e '/GL_UNUSED_PARAMETER/,$p' \
          < ../build-aux/snippet/unused-parameter.h \
          > unused-parameter.h-t && \
        mv unused-parameter.h-t unused-parameter.h


this is the first occurence of sed in the output of make but there are many
more down the way.
