Hmm, I don't see any backslashes in your text... But even if I use 
sed s/\015//g it only results in deleting the string "015" while 
leaving the carriage returns untouched (bash and csh under Linux).

But the original problem was about the result of the lines in 
Garlic/Makefile.in and Dist/config.sdefault. They contained the 
apostrophes. I still presume they never removed any control characters.
