It sounds like you have configured this as an autotools package, but
looking at https://github.com/sedcli/sedcli/blob/master/src/configure I
see that it is a custom hand written script, so that is why it doesn't
understand all of these options. Use generic-package instead.

Notice that we already have a package for sedutil, which sounds as if it
does more-or-less the same as this sedcli.
