Hi Paul,

Sorry my bad for not reading README.git. Makes sense now.

I need to build from source, and one of the features I was looking for was the 
detection of VS2019 in the build process. The version from Jan 2020 does not 
detect VS2019, that's why I was using the git version. Based on your feedback, 
I downloaded https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-4.3.92.tar.gz 
<https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-4.3.92.tar.gz>. That builds just fine per 
README.W32 as you mentioned. 

As for the sed issue, I could not find a way to build Guile from source using 
VS2019, so not a mountain I can climb. So in the case of make I'll stick to the 
released versions. 

Thanks for your work on make!

VR, Charlie
