mksh build problem workaround

As a workaround to the build problem of mksh R49 with some host shells, you can try removing every sequence of backslash + newline in rlimits.opt and sh_flags.opt, for example with the following sequence:

	cd /path/to/mksh
	for f in *.opt; do
		tr '\n' '`' <"$f" | \
		    sed 's/\\`//g' | \
		    tr '`' '\n' >"$f.out"
		mv "$f.out" "$f"
	done

This will apply to every upcoming mksh(1) release until such time as this code has been rewritten in (host) C. Another thing that could be done is to add -r to both IFS= read line occurences in Build.sh, function do_genopt.
