Equally GNU sed is available as a drop-in rpm for AIX. I wonder if it would be worth adding Makefile support for a PATH prefix for the git scripts, so they could prepend (in this case) something like /opt/freeware/bin or /usr/linux/bin ? In our AIX environment many GNU tools are installed but I can't guarantee they come first in the paths of the git users. I'm willing to work up a patch if there's any interest. Mike
