Hi,
Last night I found a very cruel bug in GNU make that led to a costly
experience for me. Hence, I decided to report it and to help others not to
repeat my experiment.
In a Makefile, and in assignment operations, the space character after the
value is included to the value by `make'.

This problem is so cruel because you can not see the space character after
the `value' and
A workaround we're using is letting vim to highlight line-trailing spaces.
It should be trivial for other mature text editor as well ;)
Hope this helps,
