Thanks for responding, here is what finally happened:

I installed 4.7 on a different box and captured the 'make' 
results of the same application that was failing on the
problem box. Comparing the results of the two boxes seemed 
to indicate some corrupted libraries.

I finally wiped the disk and reinstalled 4.7 using a different
cd - the sed errors have ceased and I am unable to duplicate
any of the other problems.

Why or how the libraries got corrupted... God only knows.
