OK, thanks for testing this.

I think I got it.  Setting LANG=C made it work.  It seems to me there's no reason to keep the user locale settings, 
I think it is more trouble than it is worth.  Can we reset them on ct-ng invocation?

Yep, I see the tools there in the work directory.  In this case I really have no idea why it had seemingly
failed to pick up the right sed.  I see the the shell script wrappers in $(CT_WORK_DIR)/tools/bin, in which case
the logical conclusion may be the PATH must have gotten overwritten or confused somehow.

Thank you Yann and Titus for working with me through this.  When I get my next slice of free time, I want to 
re-try the build.  I'll get back to you and the list.
