Well this just redirects input from $< and outputs $@. This is what the 
< and > operators do.

You could try changing it to:

esdcompat: daemon/esdcompat.in Makefile
     cat $< | sed -e 's, at PACKAGE_VERSION\@,$(PACKAGE_VERSION),g' \
         -e 's, at PACKAGE_NAME\@,$(PACKAGE_NAME),g' \
         -e 's, at PA_BINARY\@,$(PA_BINARY),g' > $@
     chmod +x esdcompat


and see if that helps.
