  That suggests that you've not just deleted the blank line, but also joined
the two lines together, i.e. your makefile used to say

------------------------------------------
all:

        (cd src;$(MAKE))
------------------------------------------

and now it says

------------------------------------------
all:   (cd src;$(MAKE))
------------------------------------------

when what I was trying to suggest is that it should say

------------------------------------------
all:
        (cd src;$(MAKE))
------------------------------------------


    cheers,
