Subject: [PATCH] gnu: sed: selinux test when running on a foreign os that uses
 selinux

* gnu/packages/patches/sed-inplace-selinux-test.patch: new patch
* gnu/packages/base.scm (sed): add patch that sets the CONFIG_HEADER variable
to the appropriate value. sed's build system is supposed to pass this variable
along form the Makefile, but fails to do so. After several attempts to fix the
build system, I decided just to fix it the simplest way. This does make the
assumption that Guix isn't going to override the name of the config header,
but that seems like a pretty safe assumption.
