You need to know the shell syntax. The semicolon in ";#" is an end of one command (i.e. "make"), and the hash is "start of comment--ignore the rest of the line. If you replace # with $, then "$ as yourself" would be fed to the shell because $ is not a comment introducer. The command line no longer can be copied and pasted, starting from "make" to the end of the line. Thanks.
