 After the fix to sed, I encountered one more (and final) issue, with
 gmake. It wants to use bsd_signal(3), which is also guarded on modern
 glibc as an X/Open feature in certain contexts. I kludged around that
 and then had a complete tools build.
 
 Comparing the tools build of gmake vs. the build of the (much newer)
 version in pkgsrc, the latter doesn't fail, as it doesn't set via
 configure that it has bsd_signal(3) present, unlike tools, apparently.
 I haven't looked into why that is (e.g., is it something overridden
 locally in NetBSD src, or gmake has improved its configury).
