On some systems, there is a limit on the number of commands sed 
can take, and this number is 100 in some cases. The MPICH 
'configure' has taken care of this situation in most places,
except one at line 11797, where the number of commands in
the sed script has just exceeded 100. You can either split
the sed script into 2 or simply remove some commands which
you are sure won't matter with your system.
