We know it causes lots of headaches, you should have seen the rash of commits after the change was made to support this. But you know what, our Makefiles for all of /usr/src and all of /usr/ports are clean now Unfortunately, just about every time I update a port, I have to re-deal with this incompatibility, since just about every makefile I grab off the net has supurious white space in them. When we adopted the change, I don't think we realized the impact this change would have at the time. The way I see it, it doesn't hurt anything to have a leading tab one a line by itself in a makefile, so we should complain and spew out a warning, but aborting the entire make because of this is really annoying.
