And you're right:

$ cat lisp.mk
shortlisp = \

$ rm lisp.mk

$ make V=1 lisp.mk
  GEN      lisp.mk
sed: -e expression #1, char 11: unterminated `s' command
make: 'lisp.mk' is up to date.

It complains at the \\ in

    sed -e 's/$$/.elc \\/'

After changing src/Makefile.in so it generates a valid lisp.mk,
bootstrapping goes a bit further:
