It would be appreciated if you could spend a few minutes looking at what
the build race is and pushing a fix upstream.  Or at least include a
comment showing the failure.

I chased the sed thing as previous releases didn't need it: my build
machine doesn't even have ed installed so HOSTTOOLS won't help.  This
appears to be a regression as 1.06 shipped the file that needs ed to
build.  The makefile now always builds a binary to generate a file that it
then runs through ed, and it doesn't build this tool correctly in a cross
environment either:

| /bin/bash: ./fbc: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

(it's trying to run an arm binary on x86)

I'd suggest that we approach the upstream maintainer and discuss:
1) should the tarballs ship libmath.h instead of requiring it to be
generated
2) using CC_FOR_BUILD etc from autoconf-archive to build fbc with the host
compiler in cross-compile environments
3) can sed be used instead of ed to reduce the host requirements
