Let me and my trusty hex editor (shameless plug: XVI32 -- I like it even though it's written in Pascal) shed some light on this issue.
I extracted the Makefiles from sourcesdk.gcf using GCFScape, which I'm pretty sure doesn't transform line endings in the slightest. The hex dump of the files displayed a rather weird combination of newline characters: \r\r\n (0x0D 0x0D 0x0A, CRCRLF). Perhaps somebody assembling the depot FTP'd the Makefiles, which were in CRLF format on Mike's Linux box, using ASCII mode to his Windows machine, which converted the LFs to CRLFs, yielding CRCRLF. Running "dos2unix" on the Makefiles should convert every occurence of CRLF to LF, thereby turning every CRCRLF to a simple CRLF. I don't know if this necessitates a fresh code drop, but could it be at least queued for the next SDK update?
