Builds fine on GNU Guix master.  Log attached.

Would you be willing to also provide a GZIP compressed version of future
sed releases too?

Since since sed-4.3, only XZ tarballs were provided.  This is not a
problem but still unfortunate; it makes sed-4.2 (2009) currently the
latest version that we can use in our ongoing efforts to create a full
source bootstrap of the GNU (Guix) System.

For some background see this blog post
https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/guix-reduces-bootstrap-seed-by-50/, the
next reduction will remove programs like sed from the bootstrap seed.
XZ can only be built after we have a fairly recent GCC and glibc.
