I had a look at it:
AFAIS the problem is in am_edit, due to the fact that automake 1.5 uses 
now the variable
@AMDEPBACKSLASH@ inside Makefile.in for later substitution to '\\' 
(escape char for continuation of lines).

am_edit knows only the '\\' and doesn't know @AMDEPBACKSLASH at .

I did a patch for am_edit, but I don't know if this is way am_edit shall 
handle this problem, so please could someone of the am_edit maintainer 
(e.g. Stephan Kulow, the current one) have a look at the patch?!

Ciao

Walter

BTW: The patch is a little bit exaggerated, because it handles the 
@AMDEPBACKSLASH@ in every case of occurrence, even on positions it 
shouldn't occur.
