Hi,

on bsd-like systems(*), `./configure` fails with v6.9.92. The error is:

  checking for library containing crypt... none required
  sed: 1: "/^gl_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PR ...": bad flag in substitute command: '}'
  configure: error: internal error: g'l_INCLUDE_EXCLUDE_PROG's 2nd arg, ,
             does not match the list of default-not-installed programs
             (arch hostname su) also recorded in ./src/Makefile.am

The bug is easily fixed by inserting a newline right before the closing
'}', to make non-GNU sed(1) happy. I've attached a patch(*).

With it, v6.9.92 compiles on the aforementioned platforms -- while the
test suite passes on openbsd, though, on darwin 15 tests fail:

    FAIL: help-version.log
    FAIL: parent-perm.log
    FAIL: file-perm-race.log
    FAIL: parent-perm-race.log
    FAIL: existing-perm-race.log
    FAIL: backup-dir.log
    FAIL: src-base-dot.log
    FAIL: preserve-2.log
    FAIL: fail-perm.log
    FAIL: cp-parents.log
    FAIL: basic-1.log
    FAIL: create-leading.log
    FAIL: misc.log
    FAIL: test-frexpl
    FAIL: test-printf-frexpl

I've attached the verbose output.
