Most likely the makefile is in DOS format (CRLFs) but needs to be
in UNIX format (LFs).
Another common problem with makefiles is that tabs somehow get expanded
to spaces.
'make' is a very handy tool, but it should not have been designed to
distinguish between space and tab, or LF, CR, or CRLF.
By the way, if your copy of the makefile is in DOS format, then it is
likely that the source files are too. Most C compilers on UNIX are highly
intolerant of CRLFs, for no good reason at all.
