Hi Niklaus,

Do you see any complaints about 'sed' not found? One thing that might be 
going wrong is while checking for the 440 vs. 405.

The board config file is found (using sed...) to decide on the variant 
-- see cpu/ppc4xx/config.mk. When the tool is not available the 
config.mk would default to chosing 405 and likely lead to such problems.

kind regards,
Rafal
