Follow-up Comment #2, bug #30105 (project make):

So ifeq (yes, yes) counts a "a blank line" because it evaluates to nothing? 
"a blank line" would be consistent with "next line that does not begin with a
TAB", so that wording's not optimal.  "next line that begins with something
other than a TAB" might be OK but the subtle distinction would be lost on most
readers, me included.  This is news to me (well, apart from the SUFFIXES bit)
and I'm not seeing a clear explanation of it in the manual (3.81 or CVS).
