Should be $OUTDIR/$i.sed instead of $OUTDIR.sed.

Also, should be :

trap 'rm -f "$OUTDIR/$i" "$OUTDIR/$i.sed"' EXIT

Else $i will be evaluated at the time the trap command is used, not at the time we exit, and you 
need to protect the filenames using "" everywhere.

And last but not least, doing so, you will only delete the files in the current loop iteration, not 
all the files build by this run.

Why did you removed $(SRCARCH) ?

Quoting the original: "arch is used to force a reinstallation when the arch hanges because kbuild 
then detect a command line change."

So, arch is not used by the script, but by the caller and apparently needs to be in the command line.

All that being said, I'm not sure that using the shell instead of perl will enhance anything. We 
face the risk to add many regression with this change.
