Thanks, I was wondering why you needed the extra backslashes. :)

Using some dummy input files derived from elsewhere in this thread and a
Makefile modelled on the above fragment, I'm seeing inconsistent results
when make invokes different versions of bash (and bash-as-/bin/sh).
Moving the shell substitution with escape expansions out of the double-
quoted string seems to fix this.

This line:

         && $(SED) "s%\# Alternation placeholder%$${XY//$$'\n'/$$'\\\\\n'}%"

Becomes:

         && XY=$${XY//$$'\n'/$$'\\\\\\n'}     \
         && $(SED) "s%\# Alternation placeholder%$${XY}%"
