  Oh, silly me, I forgot about multilib.

  Then again, you probably want all the objects to be rebuilt in those circumstances, since surely *other* compiler flags are also changing, and make doesn't know that changing those effectively makes the object out-of-date, don't you?

  None of which changes anything WRT the fact that it would be better for the superfluous whitespace to be stripped.
