Ok, I guess you are right - see the patch below which was
another type of bug that could be introduced via not using
spaces properly.

We could do it the other way around: turn all tabs into spaces
and add Makefile checking in kbuild so that the build fails if
a tab is added to a Makefile?

Alternatively, is there perhaps some way to teach make to not be
so broken to depend on whitespace details that are *invisible*
to humans?

Thanks,

Ingo
