I don't see what your makefile system has to do with anything, but if you want a
trivial example:
alanc at x11x:/tmp [8:12am - 9] cat > foo.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
printf("Goodbye cruel world\n");
}
alanc at x11x:/tmp [8:13am - 10] perl -i -p -e 's/\n/\r\n/' foo.c
alanc at x11x:/tmp [8:13am - 11] cc foo.c
"foo.c", line 1: warning: invalid white space character in directive
