sed's internal getline enforces CRLF line ending recognition regardless
of the mount type, which results in mishandling of binary input files.
sed has no -b/--binary option.  So by using newlib's getline which
doesn't enforce CRLF->LF conversion, sed 4.1.5 should be actually
"fixed", FWIW.  If you need CRLF->LF conversion, you can use a filter
application like dos2unix.

Nothing's impossible, but I'd be actually surprised if that's the cause
for the libtool misbehaviour.
