Or even more cleanly with a simple one-liner:
perl -i.bak -ple 's{/a/b}{/c/d}; s{-Lx}{-Ly}' `find . -name Makefile`
which will also take backups of the original version of each file
by copying it with the name ".bak" tacked on the end.

If you don't want all Makefiles changed then you'd want to tweak the
"find" conditions (or pre-form the list of filenames in another file
or tweak the Perl part a bit to do The Right Thing.
