This is PR/1586. It has been fixed in GNU make 3.79 which was just
released; however it's so new that it hasn't been moved to the GNU ftp
site yet.
You can wait a few days for it to show up, or you can apply this patch,
from the bug report above (hopefully not too mangled by various cuts and
pastes):
