Bug description

when installing ocaml in a local directory on sunOS 5.10, sed gives a 'command garbled' error, presumably having to do with the portability of sed among the different unix platforms.

Steps to reproduce

  1. download ocaml 4.01.0
  2. do ./configure
  3. type make world.opt

Additional information

see the attached make_output file for more info.

Hi, can you try building with "gmake" instead of "make"? And what is your /bin/sh? Also, can you attach (not paste!) your config/Makefile?

Somewhere between configure and this, there is a space that is eaten.

On a related note, why do we need the backslash just before that space? On MacOS, it seems to be here just to prevent sed from interpreting the space as a special character, but the space is not a special character anyway.

In the absence of new information, I'm closing this PR. Note that #7030 reports no problem of the kind described here during a recent build on Solaris 10.
