I tried to build sed 4.1.2 on my machine, but I can't because the
configure script doesn't work; it just exits without printing anything
(and doesn't generate a makefile either).  I'll try to find out why, but
in the meantime, could you build sed with popen.o from 203 and malloc.o
from 204, and vice versa?  That should at least tell where to look next.
