Would this cause the lynx compile to fail?

From /usr/pkgsrc/www/lynx/work/lynx-2-8-4/src/LYMain.c:

    printf(gettext(
          "See http://lynx.browser.org/ and the online help for more information.\n\n"
          ));

If I understand it right, sed would change this to

    printf(gettext(
          "See http:
          ));
