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.
