This is one of the idiosyncrasies of GNU make. Not using newline here may (will) cause problem when the "function" is called from foreach function.

The more I see stuff like this, the more I am convinced that gmake just doesn't scale, and that for large projects (like LibreOffice), we should just write our build scripts in some reasonably decent scripting language.
Maybe then, more that just the Jedi Gmake Masters could learn to debug the stuff :-)
