Configure patch to allow g prefix for md5sum cp and sed

[Michael Franz]

Hi,

Here are some issues that I have with trying to get IcedTea 1.11 working on
OS X
-  md5sum not installed by default (it has md5 which has different commands)
- cp does not supports -a or -l
- sed that has trouble with some of the expressions

To work around this I can install coreutils from Macports.  The default port
used the 'g' prefix for these commands.  I would like to add/make the
following changes to configure.ac .  Do I need to file a bug for this?  I
have attached the changes for Makefile.am as it is a much larger file.  I
did not change all the cp and sed to the macro as not all of them cause
problems.  For consistency, I guess they should all be changed.
