The original report is here:
http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/pkgsrc-bugs/2009/06/17/msg032744.html

"sed" complains with "filename expected".
I don't have a Solaris system, but I could reproduce it on NetBSD
by pre-setting a "configure" variable, "ac_cv_header_sys_ioctl_h"
iirc.

It seems that gnu sed silently ignores the case if the
file is not specified or does not exist:
On NetBSD:
$ sed '/xxx/r' </dev/null; echo $?
sed: 1: "/xxx/r": filename expected
1
On Linux:
$ sed '/xxx/r' </dev/null; echo $?
0

So perhaps you used gnu sed?

> which make implementation do you use?
For that package, gnu make is used. Makefiles generated by
autoconf/automake usually use some gnu specific extensions.

best regards
