Hi Uli,

you added a check for a sed version 3.02:
2000-01-29  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: Add check for recent enough sed version.


AC_CHECK_PROG_VER(SED, gsed sed, --version,
  [GNU sed version \([0-9]*\.[0-9.]*\)],
  [3.02], SED=: aux_missing=t)

Which versions are broken?  And what's the problem?  Should we add the
version of sed to glibcbug - and document the requirement in the
INSTALL document?

So far configure just reports this - but it has no consequences.  Is
this desired?

IMO the check should be for 3.02 or newer: [3.0[2-9]|3.[1-9]*]
