Indeed. I do not doubt that your modification fixes the issue.

It seems very much to me as if this was a bug in GNU Make 3.80, then.

May I please ask you to modify your poatch such that both the code and
the commit message contain a comment that the added "strip" call is a
workaround for a white-space handling problem in some versions of GNU
make, especially version 3.80? 

Thanks.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
