I figured it out and fixed it.

It turns out that our old rules needed to use "\%" only because our
multi-line substitutions interfered with autoconf's system for escaping "%"
characters. When I changed the rules to be one line long, autoconf's system
kicked in. I didn't notice because I didn't do a full build, and the
generated rules are legal, even though they don't do anything useful.

While fixing this I realized that we didn't need HACK_SUBST any more, so I
removed that too.
