I went through every version of umix in portage, and each one failed to build with the same errors: config.status: creating Makefile sed: file ./confstat4IIGLx/subs-1.sed line 45: Unterminated `s' command sed: couldn't write 70 items to stdout: Broken pipe config.status: creating doc/Makefile sed: file ./confstat4IIGLx/subs-1.sed line 45: Unterminated `s' command sed: Couldn't flush stdout: Broken pipe config.status: creating src/Makefile sed: file ./confstat4IIGLx/subs-1.sed line 45: Unterminated `s' command sed: couldn't write 73 items to stdout: Broken pipe config.status: creating config.h config.status: executing default-1 commands Configuration: Install path: /usr Build OSS support: yes Build Dummy mixer driver: no Build Ncurses UI: yes Enable debug information: no Default config path: /etc Default mixer device: /dev/mixer make: *** No targets.

Correction, this is happening with every ebuild involving a configure script. If I run the script directly, it magically works. I'm fast running out of ideas.
Could you please try to re-emerge sys-apps/sed with empty CFLAGS and then try again if the sed command now works correctly? CFLAGS="" emerge --oneshot sys-apps/sed
are you using a LANG or LOCALE ?
Actually, I just discovered the source of the problem, see this thread in the forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=163092&highlight=configure+unterminated+s+command I'd still consider this a bug, but that's me.
