checking how to build HTML documentation... with makeinfo
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `nls': machine `nls' not
recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh config/config.sub nls failed

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/sed-4.0.6 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 11, Exitcode 1

Calculating dependencies  ...done!
