I was just having probles which manifested themselves in sed errors, but it 
  turned out to be a problem in my /etc/make.conf.  In particular, I had 
spread my CFLAGS onto multiple lines with a \ at the end of each line. 
Turns out that my CFLAGS were being passed to sed just like that somehow, 
and sed didn't like it.

So check your /etc/make.conf.
