For compatibility var=$( prog | sed -b -e 's/\r$//' ...)

If your makefiles configured SED you could use:
export SED='sed -b -e '\''s/\r$$//'\'''
and that is probably the best approach: change sed to SED in makefiles,
and configure SED=sed if not set.

Alternatives:
alias sed='sed -b -e '\''s/\r$//'\'''
sed(){ /bin/sed -b -e 's/\r$//' "$@"; }
sed -i 's|\<sed\>|& -b e '\''s/\r$//'\''|g' ... to patch files - double
the "$" to patch makefiles,
or build and use a Mingw(-compatible) sed that converts \r\n to \n on
input and \n to \r\n on output?
