Me too.  The culprit would likely be

## Construct a sed command file that operates on lines between
## ^ELCFILES and the next blank line.  Convert spaces between members
## of COMPILE_FIRST to "\|", and escape directory "/".  List the .elc
## files, exclude the members of COMPILE_FIRST, convert ^$(lisp) to a
## literal " $(lisp)", add trailing " \\\" to the end of every line
## (the last \ continues the line in sed, the other \\ result in a
## single \ at the end of the replacement text).  For the last line,
## just use a single "\", for sed.  Finally, run sed using the command
## so constructed and update Makefile.in.  chmod +w is for CVSREAD=1.
## Errors in final sed are non-fatal, since they have no effect on
## building Emacs.
update-elclist:
        echo "/^ELCFILES/,/^$$/c\\" > temp.sed
        echo "ELCFILES = \\\\\\" >> temp.sed
        exclude=`echo $(COMPILE_FIRST) | sed -e 's, ,\\\\|,g' -e 
's,\/,\\\\/,g'`; \
        ls $(lisp)/*.elc $(lisp)/*/*.elc | sed -e "/$$exclude/d" -e 
"s|^$(lisp)|        \$$(lisp)|" -e 's/$$/ \\\\\\/' -e '$$ s/ \\\\//' >> temp.sed
        echo "" >> temp.sed
        -sed -f temp.sed $(lisp)/Makefile.in > temp-elcfiles || rm temp-elcfiles
        rm temp.sed
        chmod +w $(lisp)/Makefile.in
        mv -f temp-elcfiles $(lisp)/Makefile.in || echo "Maintainer warning: 
failed to update Makefile.in"


in lisp/Makefile.in.  In particular, "Finally, run sed using the command
so constructed and update Makefile.in." since the preceding recipe does
not actually construct a command, but just a part of it.

I am not sure what the real intent here is.
