I have seen two things mess up my makefiles in the past.

1) tabs converted to spaces (and vice versa).
2) CRLF instead of LF line separators, or mixed CRLF and LF line separators.

Both of these defects are normally invisible. I have used cat -A or od
-c to help detect these editor induced errors. dos2unix can fix line
endings. An editor with visible whitespace and selectable line endings
options and regexp search and replace can help with fixing tabs.
