make-4.3 shipped with a backward incompatible change in how sharp signs
are handled in macros. Previously, up to make 4.2, the sharp sign would
always start a comment, unless backslash-escaped, even in a macro or a
fucntion call.
Now, the sharp sign is no longer starting a comment when it appears
inside such a macro or function call. This behaviour was supposed to be
in force since 3.81, but was not; 4.3 fixed the code to match the doc.
As such, use of external toolchains is broken, as we use the sharp sign
in the copy_toolchain_sysroot macro, in shell variable expansion to
strip off any leading /: ${target\#/}.
Fix that by applying the workaround suggested in the release annoucement
[0], by using a variable to hold a sharp sign.
