Embedding newlines in commands

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Hi,

I'm using GNU make 3.80-1 on Cygwin, and encountered the same problem as
described in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-make/2002-10/msg00049.html>.  The
reply from Paul D. Smith later in that thread seems to indicate that this
bug should be fixed, but any attempt to actually embed a newline in my
Makefile results in the "*** missing separator.  Stop." error.

Was this ever fixed?  If so, what is the syntax for embedding newlines in
commands?  I'm more than willing to look at the source, so a pointer to
the specific ChangeLog entry that describes this fix would also be
helpful.
Thanks in advance,
        Igor
