It is not the age of the sed, but the version that matters.  Libtool needs 
GNU sed whereas the one in MacOS X is the BSD one.  These are not 
compatable.  Indeed 'sed --v' does not work on BSD sed!
Even if it did, Swarm is not necessarily using the default sed.  At 
configure time it will look for a tool called sed or gsed that is GNU 
compatable.

There is a compiled GNU sed v4.05 in a MacOS X package on the Swarm web 
site.

If you are using libtool 1.5, it also possible that you have a suitable 
sed but are not finding it at the configure stage. 

I plan to update the packages for libtool 1.5 and possibly even Java over 
the next few weeks.
