Sorry, I can't reproduce this here on FreeBSD-2.1.0, and I've built
python-1.4 at home on 2.2-{ALPHA,BETA,current} and on our 3.0-current
reference machine without any problems. There's no GNU sed involved on
any of these machines.
The official FreeBSD port doesn't contain any patches to config.c;
maybe you should try it. It's available on the FreeBSD mirrors.
