Wow!  Thanks for the report. CC'ed to automake for their information.

| address@hidden Trailing backslash in macro
| +HP-UX 11.20 on IA-64 will read multiple newlines following a
| +backslash, continuing to the next non-empty line.  For example,
| +
| address@hidden
| +FOO = one \
| +
| +BAR = two
| +
| +test:
| +     : FOO is "$(FOO)"
| +     : BAR is "$(BAR)"
| address@hidden example

@noindent

| +shows @code{FOO} equal to @code{one BAR = two}.  Other Makes sensibly
| +let a backslash continue only to the immediately following line.
| +
|  @item @code{make macro=value} and address@hidden
|  
|  A command-line variable definition such as @code{foo=bar} overrides any

Please, install.
