distclean 'Recipe has too many lines' on an older system

Having recently submitted patches now in curl 7.77.0, and being
interested in seeing if the new version builds without local
patches, the new release was run through a local build process
for SCO OpenServer 5.0.7. A fault was noted during a build
procedure. This isn't new to 7.77.0, however, as I now see it
also occurred while building 7.65.3 and 7.63.0.

The fault occurs when running `make distclean`.

As I did not know if using bash vs. the native sh would make a
difference, I tried adding CONFIG_SHELL to force use of BASH,
but it does not make a difference with respect to this error.

This does not affect a local build for the platform as it
hasn't interfered with making curl on the platform, so
perhaps its not really something worth looking at, but
it seemed reasonable to at least put this out there.
