Doesn't the DJGPP-specific README file in the source distribution list 
all the required packages?  IMHO, it should.

In general, if you want to configure and build GNU software without 
problems, you should install these packages:

  Fileutils, Textutils, Sh-utils, Findutils, Gawk, Sed, Grep, and, of 
  course, Bash and Make.  Sometimes, Flex and Bison are also needed.

The FAQ lists in section 4.5 the file names of the binary distributions 
for all of these, and others as well.  It also tells you that these are 
required to run Unix shell scripts and Makefiles.

Sed is in v2gnu/sed302b.zip.  Again, looking in the FAQ would have helped 
you find the answer.
