bug#10220: Make check errors!

[Paul Eggert]

Thanks for reporting that.  I installed the following
fix into the trunk, and something like it should appear
in the next coreutils version.  If you want to work around
it by hand without installing the autotools, you can
substitute \043 for \# in src/Makefile before typing
'make'.

        maint: don't assume GNU make \# syntax
        Problem reported by Basavaraj B (Bug#10220).
        (fs_normalize_perl_subst): Use \043 rather than \#.
        \043 is portable to all ASCIIish platforms, whereas \# is portable
        only to platforms that are compatible with GNU make (and are
        incompatible with POSIX make).  Porting this to EBCDIC is left as
        an exercise for the reader....
