Question/bug? : Make and tab problem since version 1.3.16...

[Moti Daniel]

After upgrading cygwin dll to 1.3.16 from 1.3.12 I had the following
problem:
I'm using cygwin to build my project, in my makefile I'm creating
another makefile like this:
VAR1=a.o : a.c\n\tcc $$@
.
.
.
sometarget :
	$(shell echo -e '$(VAR1)' >> somefile

before the upgrade this produced somefile with this lines in it:
a.o : a.c
<TAB>	cc $@

after upgrading the tab before the 'cc $@' gone, and the lines
in somefile looks like this:
a.o : a.c
cc $@

and the make of the sub-makefile (somefile) fails, 
I've noticed that if I'm adding a character
before the \t for example:
VAR1=a.o : a.c\nxxx\tcc $$@
it produces:
a.o : a.c
xxx		cc $@

any ides ?

Thanks.
