you don't have GNU sed, right?

Personally I'd say something's still fishy.  Why do you agree with
configure when it says your compiler is broken?  If you study
config.log after having run

./testsuite -d -v 27

do you agree with its decision?  If it doesn't make sense to you,
please send us config.log.
