So, do the same as commit 9564a8cf422d (Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd
files for future Make) and commit 929bef467771 (bpf: Use $(pound) instead
of \# in Makefiles) and define and use a `$(pound)` variable.

Ouch!

In the English (as opposed to American) speaking world this will be very 
confusing! The pound sign is £ not #.

If this is not dictated by some sort of upstream PLEASE can we make it 
$(hash) not $(pound)

Cheers,
