Hi Marek! Please choose just onee mailing list to ask your question, rather than sending it to multiple lists. Either one would be appropriate for this question IMO.

I believe that was trying to discuss whitespace etc. within the pattern words, not within the to-be-substituted text. But, it doesn't even work there. I think you should ignore that paragraph in the documentation and pretend it's not there. I have no idea what it really refers to. If you do want to strip out whitespace etc., you should use the $(strip ...) GNU Make function.
