\ at the end of a comment is not ignored.

[Sanjeeb Sahoo]

Hi,
 Looks like the '\' character at the end of a comment continues to have the
same special meaning. Please refer to the 3 liner makefile attached here
with. when I invoke make, I get the following error...
Makefile:3: *** commands commence before first target.  Stop.

When I remove the \ char fro the comment, it works fine. Should make not
disable the special meaning of \ when it sees it in a comment line?

Version of GNU Make : 3.79

Thanks,
