Comment (by RobK88):

 Thanks Ryan.  I just installed XCode and Macports on this Mac running High
 Sierra a week or so ago.  I have only installed a dozen or so ports.

 And I am just using the version of `sed` that came with High Sierra:

 {{{
 $ which sed
 /usr/bin/sed
 }}}

 On my Mac, it looks like using `reinplace` to change the DOS line endings
 (CRLF) to unix line endings (LF) does work just fine unless the last line
 of the DOS file is NOT terminated with a CRLF (like is the case with the
 dzip's Makefile).  But dos2unix appears to handle that edge case just
 fine.

 And many thanks for the tip regarding exec.  It is good to know that one
 should be using `system -W` instead of `exec`.  It is always good to learn
 something new every day!
