Bug in make instructions

In the perl sources the file makedepend.SH contains a bug.

In line 131 a quote is not closed what prevents a cross
compilation on
i386 for arm.

Here's the original line:

    */*) finc="-I`echo $file | sed 's#/[^/]*$##`"
;;

and here's the fixed one:

    */*) finc="-I`echo $file | sed 's#/[^/]*$##'`"
;;

The same error also occurs in the development version
5.9.4.
