The patch allows users to define the CC macro to more than one word, e.g.,
  CC= cc -D_POSIX_SOURCE
or some such in the Configuration file. Until now, this would break because
it was passed unescaped to the subdirs,  like: make CC=$(CC)

AFAIK, this has been fixed in 1.3 already.

Thank you; that's quite cooperative. I would have hated to continue
fighting over this. I can see you point, of course. Still I think we
impose less restrictions on  the user this way.
