Log Message:
make: fix newline in word splitting

The newline character behaved differently depending on whether it
occurred at the beginning of a word or in the middle of it.  In the
middle, it didn't act as a word separator but instead stopped splitting,
thereby ignoring any following words.  This behavior was neither
documented nor to be expected.  It probably came from a time before 1993
where the makefiles were read as a single block of text instead of
splitting them into lines first.
