Comment (by maeder):

 I believe, the following works, but still need to test it.
 {{{
         sed -e '/hs$$$$/ p' -e '/hs$$$$/ s/o /hi /g' \
             -e '/hs$$$$/ s/:/ : %hi: %o /'                       \
             -e '/hs$$$$/ s/^/$$$$(eval $$$$(call hi-rule,/'      \
             -e '/hs$$$$/ s/$$$$/))/'                             \
             -e '/hs-boot$$$$/ p' -e '/hs-boot$$$$/ s/o-boot /hi-boot /g' \
             -e '/hs-boot$$$$/ s/:/ : %hi-boot: %o-boot /'        \
             -e '/hs-boot$$$$/ s/^/$$$$(eval $$$$(call hi-rule,/' \
             -e '/hs-boot$$$$/ s/$$$$/))/'                        \
             $$@.tmp2 > $$@
 }}}
