+       maint.mk: improve empty-line-at-EOF check
+       * top/maint.mk (sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF): Use Perl-based
+       solution, rather than tail+Perl-based one.  The latter would read
+       a few kilobytes from the end of each file, and did not handle empty
+       files properly.
+
        maint.mk: print the elapsed time for each syntax-check rule
        * top/maint.mk (sc_m_rules_): Save start time in a file.
        (sc_z_rules_): New rules: remove temp file and print elapsed time.
