XPG4 compliant sed, bundled with Solaris (SUNWxcu4), seems to handle it
as well. For those who don't have GNU sed already on the system, you
can do the following:

  $ export PATH=/usr/xpg4/bin:$PATH
  [ use appropriate syntax if not using POSIX shell ]
  $ make

SUNWxcu4 is part of End User Support and Developer System Support
clusters, among others, so chances are that it's installed on your
system.
