[RFA]: Broken sed on solaris

[Adam Fedor]

sed on solaris is broken or does not seem to work the way other sed's 
work. For instance in computing the gcc major version in gnustep-make

`${CC} -dumpversion | sed 
"s/\(^[[^0-9]]*\)\([[0-9]][[0-9]]*\)\([[^0-9]].*\)/\2/"

Solaris doesn't like the initial '^' (matches the beginning of the line) 
and so the output isn't changed at all. Just removing this fixes the 
problem. I don't really know a lot about this, but it doesn't seem to 
really be necessary anyway. Am I missing something or can I just remove 
this?
