> cat Makefile
test::
echo "test1"
echo "test2"
echo "hallo \
this is a broken line"
echo 'hello \
this is another broke line'

echo "test1"
test1
echo "test2"
test2
echo "hallo \
this is a broken line"
hallo this is a broken line
echo 'hello \
this is another broke line'
hello this is another broke line ### !!!
3.81 (new behavior):
> make test
echo "test1"
test1
echo "test2"
test2
echo "hallo \
this is a broken line"
hallo this is a broken line
echo 'hello \
this is another broke line'
hello \ ### !!!
this is another broke line ### !!!
This break execution of s.th. else than 'echo' (e.g. 'perl').
I guess it's a bug?
