This is a list of object files produced by the build. You can do
	cd rpm/db3
	ls *.lo > db3lobjs
after building in the db3 directory and before building in the rpmdb
directory if necessary.

Use GNU make and sed. Either of the
	.PHONY:
or the (bogus) trailing \ on the
	db3_install: all install_setip \
line(s) may be what's causing you heartburn. Nuke 'em, if necessary.

Hmmm, my line 279 has a leading tab. Add a tab if necessary, and figger
why your sed script didn't. Send me a patch if successful.
