[Toybox] Sed problem

[David Halls]

I'm trying to compile libiconv. It has this in its configure script:

  sed -e '/^func_dirname ()$/,/^} # func_dirname /c\
func_dirname ()\
{\
\    case ${1} in\
\      */*) func_dirname_result="${1%/*}${2}" ;;\
\      *  ) func_dirname_result="${3}" ;;\
\    esac\
} # Extended-shell func_dirname implementation' "$cfgfile" > $cfgfile.tmp \

This results in the following being generated:

func_dirname ()
{
\    case ${1} in
\      */*) func_dirname_result="${1%/*}${2}" ;;
\      *  ) func_dirname_result="${3}" ;;
\    esac
} # Extended-shell func_dirname implementation

i.e. backslashes are left in, which bash barfs on.

The busybox sed stripped out the backslashes, and libiconv compiled fine.
Is Toybox sed only stripping out eol backslashes?
