>Description:
pkgsrc/print/pdflib uses sed to create Makefile during the configure stage. 
However, it simply calls sed without hnoring $SED, which might point to some 
different version of sed than the one in the shell path. If the system sed in 
the shell path is not compatible enough (which seems to be the case with IRIX 
5.3) configure fails.
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure pdflib on a system with an insufficient sed (first) in the shell 
path, with SED pointing to a working version.
>Fix:
Not really a fix, but maybe a workaround: USE_GNU_TOOLS+=sed should buildlink 
make use GNU sed.
