I don't really see this as a bug.

Why would DEBUG contain spaces?  DEBUG's value in the Makefile is set
by 'config'.  If you're editing the Makefile yourself, or have an
environment variable that clobbers DEBUG's value, well, that's a
problem on your end...

I'd rather have an indication (via make choking) that something had
gotten clobbered, than no indication whatsoever...
