According to René Berber on 8/23/2005 4:48 PM:

Actually, make, like any other program that uses getopt(), recognizes
non-optional arguments without the space (it's just that POSIX says that
portable applications should use the space):

$ echo 'all:
	echo hi
' > baz
$ make -fbaz
echo hi
hi
$

In other words, these four spellings are synonyms, although a script that
is portable to POSIX rules would only use the second:
make -ffoo
make -f foo
make --file foo
make --file=foo
