echo should be replaced with echo -e to handle '\n' correctly, but
instead, replace it with printf as some systems can't handle echo -e.

printf change is fine, but I'm confused about \# at the beginning of
the string. Not sure what was the intent, but it seems like it should
work with just #include at the beginning.

At least no warns, but looks like should work.
Will try it in next v.

From the NEWS of make 4.3:

* WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
  Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation
  no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes:
  thus a call such as:
    foo := $(shell echo '#')
  is legal.  Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example:
    foo := $(shell echo '\#')
  Now this latter will resolve to "\#".  If you want to write makefiles
  portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable:
    H := \#
    foo := $(shell echo '$H')
  This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason.
  To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable.

Andreas.

Oh, subtle... Thanks for explaining!
