During the Fedora 26 Mass Rebuild, it was discovered build of tcsh would fail in the make check phase.
Further investigation showed me that sed was failing with this error message:

sed: character class syntax is [[:space:]], not [:space:]

Apparently, starting with version 4.3 (or newer version used in Fedora), sed no longer supports using simple [:group:]*. Instead, the [[:group:]]* has to be used.

  Starting with sed-4.3 version, the tests would fail because sed
  apparently no longer supports using [:group:]*. Instead, [[:group:]]*
  has to be used.
