Are you sure?  I thought GNU make handled this properly.  I know it
works correctly for CRLF line endings that aren't escaped.  I'd have to
double-check to be sure that escaped line endings are handled properly
as well.

I, also, was very confused by the \\ in the script.  It's too bad the
bug submitter couldn't have simplified the problem into a simple, easy
to reproduce example.  But, I believe the \\ is not the issue because of
the second section, where he puts everything on one line (including the
\\) and gets the correct behavior.
