What do you need such an old version for ? Even before it failed, configure script was showing incorrect output. If it's fixed in the version in the tree (1.3.40, as far as swig1 goes), this is INVALID.

I'm not able to find it, so I'm reporting here, to have a developer opinion.

First of all: don't touch your sed, regardless of what they say. The first thing I'd try is to go around that tool, to force it to use system version, just to see if the upstream claims are correct (as they may very well not be - it seems to be one of those upstreams, that loves adding their own hacks and never tests if they're still needed). Also, that old tarball configures correctly here, so it may be something specific to your setup.

I've found the problem. the failure is triggered by dev-scheme/plt-scheme. rimoving this package, swig configure successes. now, I don't know if this bug should be renamed (now it seems a problem of mzscheme) or closed. but it's surely no a sed bug.
We can't support a version of swig that isn't in the tree. In fact that's why old versions get removed. :)
