Building on Solaris I noticed the following two issues with Solaris sed. GEN version-def.h sed: Missing newline at end of file standard input. GEN config-list.h sed: illegal option -- E Usage: sed [-n] script [file...] sed [-n] [-e script]...[-f script_file]...[file...] https://github.com/git/git/commit/e1b81f54da80267edee2cb8fd0d0f75f03023019 The second issue being introduced fairly recently. Not sure what would be appropriate fixes. Just pointing them out if someone has an suggestions for fixes.
