+Subject: [PATCH] Fix creation of $SPACE with GNU Make 4.3
+
+GNU Make 4.3 has this incompatible change:
+  * WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
+    Previously appending using '+=' to an empty variable would result in a
+    value starting with a space
+This is eactly what the code relied on to before.
