working around erroneous en_US.UTF-8 collation on at least OS X 10.10.5

FYI, in at least the en_US.UTF-8 locale on some OS X systems, the
collation tables are wrong: "." is not ignored as it is everywhere
else. Demonstrate with this:

  printf '%s\n' ja j.b| LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 sort -c

It should print nothing, but on the failing systems, it prints this:

  sort: -:2: disorder: j.b

That bug was causing sed's "make syntax-check" to fail on those
systems, once the THANKS.in file was properly sorted. I've worked
around it by skipping the losing test on broken systems.
