Change regex for sed version in configure.ac. This regex will match only on the first line and doesn't look for a 'version' pattern which is not available in sed version 4.2.2.
The new regex will match in the first line of 'sed --version' in a pattern which starts with random character sequence(or zero) followed by whitespace character and several digits of pattern x.x....x which x is a number. This pattern will be save in the SED_VERSION variable.
