Yes, I'm always building on OpenBSD.  And the probablem is the use of
non-portable GNU sed extensions \s and \S.  Replacing those with
[[:space:]] and [^[:space:]] as in the diff below seems to work.
Decoding chicken scratches is alway fun...

This has been broken for a while, but didn't cause any build issues
until now.  I'll send a proper patch to the mailing list.
