This is correct, exactly as documented. See the GNU make manual section "The Two Flavors of Variables" (and maybe other places as well).

Sorry for not reading the manual.
But I'm pretty sure that this 'feature' makes life harder then easier.
If a user needs spaces, he/she should explicitly state so.
I do not see a comment as an explicit manner for doing this.

At least this is my opinion/input.

Cheers,
Alon

This is a feature. See GNU Make manual section 6.2.
