Oh man, you're using GNU make. I thought Git was using that anemic
Posix Make. See attached.
I think Solaris provides an older gawk. Is this an easier problem:
awk: chainlint.sed:88: :squash
awk: chainlint.sed:88: ^ syntax error
awk: chainlint.sed:91: s/\\\n//
awk: chainlint.sed:91: ^ backslash not last character on line
Usage: awk [POSIX or GNU style options] -f progfile [--] file ...
Usage: awk [POSIX or GNU style options] [--] 'program' file ...
