This makes sense - thanks for the explanation!

I will assume this is sed that is playing tricks with us again.
If you replace sed with /usr/bin/sed in the arch/x86/vdso/Makefile
does the build then proceed?
If this does not fix it then try to post what happens a few lines
before the gcc invocation - this is likely where we start to see
the problem.

There a special mips case to consider too.
A patch is appreciated!
