Thanks a lot for this quick  answer.
We will drop back to a previous version   that some teams still use (this 
is not a project that we need to build often - last time was in 2004 !)
 
Best regards

As of GNU make 3.82, whitespace is no longer supported in variable
names.  This is an intentional change and there's no plan to reintroduce
that support (it was made to allow for new capabilities in the future).
If you need to continue to use that build environment without change
you'll need to drop back to GNU make 3.81; otherwise you'll need to
change the variable names to use some other character besides space.

Sorry I don't have better news :-(.
