Is your Sed (and any other program that are called to build GDB) compiled 
with v2.0, not v2.01?  If so, this will indeed fail: `system' passes long 
command lines in a way that only v2.01 startup code knows about.  You 
should get the latest executables from v2.01; I posted a warning to this 
effect a week ago.
