Well, it calls sed not grep! Which version was that -- it works for me and for several others. I have SED = /usr/xpg4/bin/sed (see file Makeconf), and that is 'distributed with Solaris': perhaps you do not have it installed? The danger of changing R to fix a broken OS tool is that the change may break on other people's tools -- better to fix the tool.
Switching from a separator of ':' to a separator of ',' fixes the problem. 76,77c76,77 < @$(SED) -e "s:@rhome:$(rhome):" -e "s:@rincludedir:$(rincludedir):" \ < -e 's:@libsprivate:$(STATIC_LIBR_PC):' \ ---
