Well perl was one of the solutions - but I'd probably have more belived
in include 'Makefile.ac'  where all such replacemnt would be made just
once and used for all other Makefiles.

As I said - most modern boxes do support such feature so I think
with option like --gnu-system this would be acceptable solution I guess


As for the perl speedup - if you will be processing each file with
new instance of perl and perl will have to generate all regexs again
there would be hardly any speed gain - it would require to
take a list of Makefiles & list of regular expresions - then you
would have seen speed difference.
