configure error

[Tijl Coosemans]

I get the following error running configure on FreeBSD:

config.status: creating Makefile
sed: 14: ./confstathEGAkR/subs-4.sed: unescaped newline inside substitute pattern

There's one of those for every Makefile. The problem is with the
following lines in configure.ac where I had to add '\' to every line
to work around the problem. Is this a FreeBSD only thing?

AC_SUBST(DEPENDENCIES,"### Dependencies:\
\
.INIT: Makefile\
.BEGIN: Makefile\
Makefile: dummy\
    -$(MAKEDEP) -C$(SRCDIR) -S$(TOPSRCDIR) -T$(TOPOBJDIR) $(EXTRAINCL) $(DEPEND_SRCS)\
\
$(ALL_OBJS): $(IDL_SRCS:.idl=.h)\
$(LEX_SRCS:.l=.yy.o): $(LEX_SRCS:.l=.yy.c)\
$(BISON_SRCS:.y=.tab.o): $(BISON_SRCS:.y=.tab.c)")

No, I see it in all older SUSE Versions too...
