[PATCH v2] elf: Escape sed delimiter in Makefile [BZ #25127]

[Shane Slattery]

This patch proposes a fix for BZ report #25127.
Like mentioned in BZ #25127, the use of an @ character in glibc's
    build path breaks two sed commands, as @ is the delimiter used.
    This subsequently makes the build fail, as the path
    is then considered part of the regex.

This commonly ends up affecting Jenkins concurrent builds, due to
    it's default usage of @ in the workspace path for said builds.

While a patch was suggested in the original BZ report, this is only
    a mitigation and doesn't fix the issue, i.e. the same issue would
    occur with the character #.

The issue is fixed by adding an additional sed command to escape
    possible @'s in the path before it is used with sed later.

No regressions or further issues have been observed due to this change.

There is nothing to eval here, it is a simple variable assignment.
