Actually, make, like any other program that uses getopt(), recognizes
non-optional arguments without the space (it's just that POSIX says that
portable applications should use the space):
$ echo 'all:
echo hi
' > baz
$ make -fbaz
echo hi
hi
$
In other words, these four spellings are synonyms, although a script that
is portable to POSIX rules would only use the second:
make -ffoo
make -f foo
make --file foo
make --file=foo
