You did not mention that people using old ICU (e.g. 60) also had the
problem. Looking at firefox, it claims to include 59.1, but
presumably something has been altered in the local version.
Anyway, with 63.0.1 on BLFS-8.2 (ICU 60) that sed works. It also
works on this-week's 64 beta on an 8.3 / 62 system where it is not
needed, so I think we should just pick it up.
I'm now getting ready to build a fresh system (my first with ICU
63). Will see how it goes, there are other changes which might
break it.
