WJFFM.  It's coded in Makefile.comm, as (the equivalent of):

   awk '{ sub( "\r$$", "" ); print }' foo.xml | \
     openssl sha1 | awk '{ print $$NF }'

which causes make to execute:

   awk '{ sub( "\r$", "" ); print }' foo.xml | \
     openssl sha1 | awk '{ print $NF }'

The intent is to filter out any CRLF rubbish which may inadvertently 
have crept in, compute the SHA1 hash of the resultant stream, and select 
only the last field of the openssl output, (which is the computed hash 
value).
