+ Using non-GNU utilities while compiling PHP may cause problems. Be
+ sure to use GNU tools in order to be certain that compiling PHP will
+ work. For example, on Solaris, using either the SunOS BSD-compatible
+ or Solaris versions of <literal>sed</literal> will not work, but using
+ the GNU or Sun POSIX (xpg4) versions of <literal>sed</literal> will
+ work. Links: <ulink url="&url.sed;">GNU sed</ulink>,
