The sed was to strip the build paths from the grep output.  I could
have used "grep -h" instead.

Testing was with the following chunk out of my $0.02 script:

 i=10000 ; while [ 1 ] ; do D=../build-$i-$MYARCH ; mkdir $D ; echo xxxxxxx $D xxxxxx  ; make ARCH=$MYARCH O=$D randconfig > $D/cfg.log 2>&1 ; if [ $? != 0 ] ; then echo  cfg failed in $D ; break ; fi ; time make ARCH=$MYARCH O=$D -j16 > $D/build.log 2>&1 ; if [ $? != 0 ]; then echo  bld fail in $D ; fi ; i=$[$i+1] ; done

Then I'd comb all the build logs looking for errors that were caused
by changes that I made.  As you can see, it just calls randconfig, but
the coverage never really "randomly" covered all arm platforms.

Paul.
