That will be difficult to work around. To directly replace it, I think
a C program would be required, unless we want to rely on Perl in the
build environment. Unfortunately this makes cross-compiling
impossible. The alternative is to modify the make variables in the
recursive make invocation, such that building an object file also
causes some signalling action to occur. Something like
EXTRA_ACTION = :
.c.o:
# (normal build rule)
@$(EXTRA_ACTION)
...
$(MAKE) $(MAKEDEFS) EXTRA_ACTION='rm -f stamp-modobjs' $$obj
...

I was afraid that might happen. The solution is to put the $(CFSED)
bit into a separate file, and do `sed -f $(srcdir)/conf.sed -e
"$sed"`.
