This can break if $(CURDIR) contains '@'.

In such case sed fails, but make returns success and generates
verifier/tests.h with zero #include lines. And this would silently
skip all the tests.

Also at line 1046:

EXTRA_CLEAN := $(SCRATCH_DIR) $(HOST_SCRATCH_DIR)			\
	prog_tests/tests.h map_tests/tests.h verifier/tests.h		\

These are the old source-tree locations. Should be updated?
