Did you actually try what quilt does when using --with-sed first?

The idea is that quilt runs with a  compat/ directory early in
$PATH which can contain things like a replacement for sed.
Quilt then finds those utilities before the system default utilities
in $PATH. This avoids littering the scripts with macro expansions
all over the place.
