FWIW 'config.status' is the log file generated by 'configure'.

You should provide, at the very least, the following information:
- the PostgreSQL version you are trying to build
- the environment you are trying to build it in

A very hand-wavy guess, but possibly your local "sed" installation is
not GNU sed?
