You should use the example yp-Makefile-entry that is given in the
amd manual. It works for us :-)
What it does besides stripping comments is, that a backslash-newline is
removed (the newlines are zapped), together with _all leading_ white space
on the next line. You should be able to just drop this entry into your
Makefile.
\begin{quote from the manual}
When using NIS (formerly YP), an Amd map is implemented directly by
the underlying NIS map. Comments and continuation lines are *not*
supported in the automounter and must be stripped when constructing
the NIS server's database.

awk '{ \
for (i = 1; i <= NF; i++) \
if (i == NF) { \

Here `$(YPTSDIR)' contains the time stamp files, and `$(YPDBDIR)'
contains the dbm format NIS files.
