---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
When working on this bug, please also consider whether make
implementations
(in general) use "white space" in accordance with the definitions in XBD
3.412
(for "white space") and 3.414 (for "white-space"), or whether some have a
more restricted syntax allowed, in which case (if the make page doesn't
already redefine those terms) perhaps more care needs to be given to
exactly
how they are used.

Note: this note is not intended to be any specific objection to anything,
I haven't read the make spec, and don't intend to (current versions of
make,
all of them, annoy me) just pointing out something to be aware of, and
perhaps
check ... many man pages (etc) say "white space" when they really just
mean
space or tab (and sometimes newline) and don't intend (the code does not
implement) the full range of characters that the XBD definitions require.
