GNU-ism in sed use in build scripts

Hi,
Is it vital that 'sed --' is used in scripts/gen-build-files.sh?
It uses the variable $srcdir, which is set in the Makefile to an
absolute path; although of course it would normally be sensible to use
-- when using a variable.
Unfortunately this causes non-GNU sed to break on scripts/gen-build-files.sh.
I've got around it so far by using GNU sed, but it'd be great to
remove that dependency from my point of view.
Would the patch at [1] be acceptable?
