Working on it

The problem is worse when the target can't run the tools in temp-system.

Like x86 host for x86_64 target.

If the host can run the target temp system tools, then this problem  
won't even crop up.

Like x86 to x86 or x86_64 to x86_64

That's why I've tested from now on where the host can't run the target  
tools.

That is why when you skip the sed, it works fine.
