Where in the shown log does haikuporter give you the impression that it is going to build sed first? To me, it looks as if it intends to build findutils first and that is exactly what it does.

The problem of course is that the findutils recipe fails to declare the dependency (build prerequires) on sed, thus the build fails early on.

implicitBuildHostProvides is something that's only ever relevant during a bootstrap, when cross-compiling from some other OS (that's why it lives in BuildPlatformUnix). The meaning of that list is just that we expect those cmds to be available on the build host (as one of the builds done as part of the bootstrap process is going to use them).

Gotcha. Plus if we bootstrap sed, requiring sed could be a pain. I'll fix.

coreutils has a similar issue where it probably needs to have cmd:flex and cmd:bison added to the recipe, but adding that and then building leads to several more packages that have the same issue. And eventually you get to bison or flex which have an issue finding the correct symbol.
