Add "Compiling on GNU/Linux fails due to a missing left operand in gnu-linux.h."

This results from a bug in a VERY old version of GNU Sed.  To solve
the problem, install the current version of GNU Sed, then rerun
Emacs's configure script.

*** Compiling on GNU/Linux fails due to a missing left operand in gnu-linux.h.

The error messages have the form:

  ../src/s/gnu-linux.h:49:24: error: operator '>' has no left operand

This error occurs because your system defines LINUX_VERSION_CODE in
the standard header file linux/version.h but does not give it a value.
As a workaround, you can edit the file src/s/gnu-linux.h to add the
needed definition.  On the line after "#include <linux/version.h>",
add a line as shown below:

#include <linux/version.h>
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132626

The number to use depends on your kernel version (the example shown is
for kernel 2.6.18).  The number can be obtained by running the
following command in the shell:

uname -r | sed -e 's/\./ /g' -e 's/-.*//' | awk '{print $1*(2^16) + $2*(2^8) + $3}'
