That folder does not exist on a default system, so _something_ installed

It meant that our official binary distributions for OS versions that 
support them are only built

Yes, because we're trying to avoid overlapping with Macports.

Without seeing a detailed report about the sed issue, it's hard for us 
to say what is going on and to fix it.  A terse verbal description 
carries essentially no actionable information; for example, based on the 
above, all I have is "it" failed, and that's completely meaningless 
without knowing what "it" is.
