The range was the part which got me confused the most.  Perhaps it
should be documented in aclocal.m4 why it is used.

Hm, I have here

$ make -v
GNU Make 3.81
[...]
$ $SHELL --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.39(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
$ sed --version
GNU sed version 4.1.5
[...]
$ xemacs --version

XEmacs 21.4 (patch 21) "Educational Television" [Lucid] (x86_64-linux-gnu, 
Mule) of Thu Mar 13 2008 on excelsior

and I see no infinite loops.

I don't understand this query.  Makefile is shipped with the AUCTeX
