On my old Red Hat 8 box, I see the following failure from "make install"
of hwloc-1.3.1:
make[5]: Entering directory
`/home/pcp1/phargrov/OMPI/hwloc-1.3.1-linux-x86-32-elan/BLD/tests/linux'
/bin/sed -e 's/abs_top_builddir\/utils/bindir/' -e
'/abs_top_builddir/d' -i /home/pcp1/phargrov/OMPI/hwloc-1.3
.1-linux-x86-32-elan/INST/bin/hwloc-gather-topology
/bin/sed: invalid option -- i
Usage: /bin/sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script}
[input-file]...
-n, --quiet, --silent
suppress automatic printing of pattern space
-e script, --expression=script
add the script to the commands to be executed
-f script-file, --file=script-file
add the contents of script-file to the commands to be
executed
--help display this help and exit
-V, --version output version information and exit
If no -e, --expression, -f, or --file option is given, then the first
non-option argument is taken as the sed script to interpret. All
remaining arguments are names of input files; if no input files are
specified, then the standard input is read.
E-mail bug reports to: bug-gnu-ut...@gnu.org .
Be sure to include the word ``sed'' somewhere in the ``Subject:'' field.
From that usage output, I suspect hwloc shouldn't be using "-i".
Version on the failing system is "GNU sed version 3.02".
So, this portion of the Makefile should be rewritten not to use the -i
(in-place) option which appears specific to GNU sed-4.x
