James Cook described in this thread how to fix the issue that causes the test suite failure. It would be great if someone with access to Darwin could apply that fix to the expression so that we can run the regression tests on Darwin, too. A situation in which Perl is untested simply because we cannot figure out the proper command line syntax for 'sed' seems somewhat unsatisfactory.
I see, that's exactly why I filed https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/874 . There may be many more similar problems lurking, (although perl is very important build tool in nixpkgs).
Having non-native sed and other tools seems a good start to me, and it shouldn't be too difficult. I would personally leave (most of) these worries to people who actually use nix on these platforms.
