Traditionally 'i' and 'a' command to sed has been unfriendly
with make, primarily because different make implementations did
unexpected things to backslashes at the end of lines.

For portability I would even suggest making that command into a
separate helper shell script, and call that from the Makefile.

I recall Pasky talking about Scalar::Util removal and I thought
I took a patch.

 ... goes "git grep" ...

Ah the private edition of Error.pm pulls that in.  Sheesh.
