I just removed the sed command, it was just to suppress a bunch of
warnings. I am not sure what OSX's sed had an issue with actually.

I switch the -wholename to -path which my 10.5.8 OSX seems to think is
okay and it works on linux. It isn't in the POSIX standard but appears
widely supported.

I was able to run and compile jhc on my 10.5.8 box, and run the
regression test. but when the garbage collector is enabled (enabled with
-fjgc) it doesn't work because posix_memalign does not exist. Can you
check whether -fjgc works on 10.6? I wish I had some way to regression
test OSX builds as part of my standard pre-release tests. Hmm...

Windows cross compiling seems a little broken too, but the fix looks
easy. I can add windows compilation to the regression test thankfully
due to wine so I can fix it for the next release.
