I still think it is a shell problem not make 

rtl11:~ $ make FOO=" "
origin of FOO is: command line
FOO is empty
rtl11:~ $ make FOO="\ "
origin of FOO is: command line
FOO is not empty

and the value of FOO is one blank in the second case. So I guess it IS the 
shells way of expanding things thats causing the problem.
