No.

There is a bug about this against GNU make already.  The problem seems
simple but is actually annoying to fix.

If you're doing this to generate the auto-dependency tracking rules you
might consider the method listed on my web site below; it doesn't have
this problem because it uses a completely different method of managing
dependency lists.  Check it out, it's pretty neat.
