Make and '#'

[Kevin Braunsdorf]

I've needed # in shell commands in make before.  I had to use tr(1) to
get them...  here is an example from an old Makefile....

OLDCODE= ${CC} ${CFLAGS} -E $$file |\
	 sed -n -e `echo '/^@/p' |tr "@" "\043"` |\
	 sed -e 's/^.[ 0-9]*"\(.*\)" *$$/\1/' -e '/\/usr\/include/d'


Note that 
	$ echo '/^@/p' | tr "@" "\043"
outputs
	/^#/p

which is the string I need to pass sed -e...  (yes, I know one sed would do).
