Thanks for the bug report.

Hmmm, what is the output of the following shell command?
cd tests/cp
VERBOSE=yes make TESTS=symlink-slash check
> - configure does not find /sbin/grep;
Is it important that 'configure' find /sbin/grep rather than
/usr/bin/grep or whatever? If so, why? Currently 'configure' walks
through PATH looking for a 'grep' that isn't broken. Is the problem
that /sbin was not in your PATH, or that the grep test that
'configure' uses doesn't detect brokenness in other versions of 'grep'
on your system?

Most likely this is due to some silly limit in IRIX 5.3 sed, which it
diagnoses incorrectly. This is really an Autoconf issue, not a
coreutils issue (see, e.g.,
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2006-05/msg00075.html>)
but a fix probably won't appear until after Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
In the meantime I suppose you can stick with your GNU sed workaround.
