The problem seems to go away if you remove the quoted end-of-line:
That is not "the quoted end-of-line". Backslashes do not have
any special meaning inside a single quote pair for bourne shell
quoting. The script is passing the backslash to sed.
IIRC, make seems to do different things for the backslash at the
end of line depending on vintage, so if this scriptlet appears
in a Makefile you may have another version dependency. I
usually cop out of this problem by having a separate shell
script and run it from the Makefile, instead of spelling out the
sed commandline in the Makefile.
I got a complaint or two that some version of sed does not like
';' to concatenate more than one commands, and have been trying
to train myself to do either multiple -e options or multi-line
scripts. E.g when I am tempted to say:
sed -e 's/foo/bar/;s/baz/boa/' froboz
Instead, I say either
sed -e 's/foo/bar/' -e 's/baz/boa/' froboz
or
sed -e '
s/foo/bar
s/baz/boa/
' froboz
I do not know how much of the above applies to your immediate
problem, but I hope some of it helps.

Good idea, thanks. Hopefully this will fix Dave Morgan's problem.
