Follow-up Comment #8, bug#65273 (group make):
[comment #3 comment #3:]
> The problem is that (a) there is no way to create a variable name
containing, or consisting of, whitespace
Sure there is:
Makefile:
```
SPACE :=
SPACE := $(SPACE) $(SPACE)
$(SPACE) := $(SPACE)
$(warning [$( )])
```
Output:
```
Makefile:4: [ ]
make: *** No targets. Stop.
```
I'm not sure where I learned this trick, but I think it was probably the John
Graham-Cumming book, so it's probably relatively widely known.
(Admittedly this will cause a warning with the latest HEAD.)
