That particular one-line `ALTARCH := i386' of course can be matched
simpler, because there's only *one* (as written above) whitespace and no
make's assignment variations, like (?=,=). I wonder, if there can be more
options, than i386 and more occurrences of `ALTARCH' actually :) Also,
make can have lead whitespace on line start, as well as near assignment
sign, if that matters.
So, to match *one* line with *one* `ALTARCH' followed by `i386'
sed -n '/ALTARCH/{/i386/{p ; q}}'
is fine by me. If there are dis-assignments, so to speak, or comments
with i386 this will not work obviously. But it's fast and must work
with variety of make syntax. Check is "for non empty output".
Also, please take a look on man isspace(). It matches much more
characters, than necessary for ordinary syntax whitespace. Using
[:blank:] (i.e. tab and space, with no options) is OK. Last thing: i'm not
sure, what that `+' is. I stick to BRE in sed, as it should be, so just
don't know what it does.
Hope that helps.
