With pdksh as /bin/sh

[root@arm linux-2.5.27]# make bzImage
make[1]: Wchodzę w katalog `/usr/src/linux-2.5.27/scripts'
make[1]: Opuszczam katalog `/usr/src/linux-2.5.27/scripts'
Starting the build. KBUILD_BUILTIN=1 KBUILD_MODULES=
make[1]: Wchodzę w katalog `/usr/src/linux-2.5.27/init'
Generating /usr/src/linux-2.5.27/include/linux/compile.hsed: can't read s/\(.\64\\).*/\1/: No such file or directory

sed: can't read s/\(.\64\\).*/\1/: No such file or directory
(unchanged)
make[1]: Opuszczam katalog `/usr/src/linux-2.5.27/init'

That's due to expanding of sed expression done by shell:

[misiek@arm misiek]$ sh
[\u@\h \W]$ UTS_TRUNCATE='sed -e s/\(.\{1,$UTS_LEN\}\).*/\1/'
[\u@\h \W]$ echo $UTS_TRUNCATE
sed -e s/\(.\1\).*/\1/ s/\(.\$UTS_LEN\).*/\1/

This little change fixes that:
