The ASTERISKVERSION/ASTERISKVERSIONNUM case is easy enough - just create a .tmpversion file and include it within the Makefile.  If it doesn't exist, we don't continue (it's not needed for most operations, and it would let us fail with a useful error, rather than "Illegal option -").

The slightly trickier case is the grep for documentation.  It adds all .c files that contain XML documentation, to the dependency list for the .xml files, so that if any of those files change, the docs get regenerated.  It seems like this could be architected a little differently, and be avoided altogether.
