The most unknown format would be the one of the libclang check, where
there may be other lines before the one we are interested in. However,
the pattern expansion would still match newlines, right?

We can test if nothing was printed by `sed` for that (or do it with
shell builtins).
Having said that, I would say fooling the script on purpose is an more
of an oddity compared to the case `MAKEFLAGS` attempts to cover
(please see my reply on the other patch). So if we cover this, then I
would say we should really cover the other one.
