Charles is correct. You also have some typos where some variables aren't
enclosed in parentheses. The attached file fixes those problems.
To summarize: make requires that action lines begin with tabs, not spaces.
I don't think make has problems with ^Ms.

Jean,
What appears to be happening is that make does not recognize the spaces
after
the colon (:) or on the following recipe lines. If you will replace them
with
tabs, this should fix the problem. I've encountered this issue on other
versions of make before. Another solution is to modify the make source code
to recognize a space as a legal separator.
