Hi,

Version: 3.78.1
The info manual for make reads:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you would like to split a single shell command into multiple
lines of text, you must use a backslash at the end of all but the last
subline. Such a sequence of lines is combined into a single line, by
deleting the backslash-newline sequences, before passing it to the
shell.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, this is not exactly what happens: look at shis
simple makefile:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
all:
@echo "1234""5678"
@echo "1234"\
"5678"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The following invocation shows the difference between the two
lines:
__> make
12345678
1234 5678
Observe the addition of a space in the second case.

Once it hits the fan, the only rational choice is to sweep it up,
package it, and sell it as fertilizer.
