Please elaborate a little bit more. What sed script causes this? What lines in the makefile
that are terminated with backslash are brocken? Are all lines that are terminated by a backslash
affected by this misfeature?

Only FYI: I have used the following very naive test file:

bar\
foo\
bar

and run the sed command:

"s/bar/rab/;s/foo/oof/"

I have inspected the produced file with a hex-editor. The file
is completely ok. Especially, all backslashes are followed *only*
by CR LF. This is independent of the EOL used in the source file.
