Actually, I had the same problem recently building from CVS. The problem
is that targmatch.sed has DOS line endings, msys sed 3.02 will cope fine
if you run dos2unix on the file first.

I didn't have this problem with the release tarballs though, just
TortoiseCVS being a pain & doing line conversions.
