In info/info-text.sh and info/info-list.sh, FreeBSD sed complains:

command
If I understand correctly, 'q1' means exit with error code 1, and the
man page notes that this is a GNU extension.
I couldn't find any obvious/easy fix for this, so just FYI.
Eric fixed it in:
https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/libnbd/-/commit/980b58d67451f7ece491283bc778e4b...
Would it help to set POSIXLY_CORRECT when running the tests to catch
these earlier?
Apparently this would not have worked because POSIXLY_CORRECT doesn't
suppress the GNU extensions, only deconflicts them in cases where they
would conflict with a POSIX standard.
