Building binutils: having problems with sed

Question

I was trying to build binutils as I was building the mingw-w64 toolchain, when I run into this weird problem involving sed when configuring (configure output). sed --version returns version 4.5. Am I doing anything wrong?

Answer 1

So there is a mingw64 version of sed and it was conflicting with msys2 sed. I deleted that and now it works fine
