Contrary to what
info '(Autoconf)Limitations of Usual Tools'
has to say about the `sed' command,
| @example
| sed -e @var{instruction-1} \
| -e @var{instruction-2}
| @end example
is not equivalent to
| @example
| sed @var{instruction-1};@var{instruction-2}
| @end example
everywhere. On AIX (the system I tested has only this `sed' command
installed), the second works differently:
$ echo a | sed '/x/{p;};d'
a
$ echo a | sed -e '/x/{p;}' -e d
$
This is in conformance to the information given in the "sed FAQ"[1]
(I have not tested the other requirements mentioned there) and also
conforming to SUSv3. Libtool was hit by this bug.
