[Andreas Schwab]

The test of AC_PROG_SED can lead to a spurious testsuite failure:

225. acprograms.at:20: testing ...
./acprograms.at:20: autoconf --force -W obsolete
./acprograms.at:20: /bin/sh -n configure
./acprograms.at:20: autoheader 
./acprograms.at:20: top_srcdir=$abs_top_srcdir ./configure -C
