I know you solved your problem meanwhile. I simply want to
comment on this part, though. Why not just:
SPC_CHAR = ' '
TAB_CHAR = ' ' # real tab
WHITSPACE = $SPC_CHAR$TAB_CHAR
If you insist on running a shell program to do it despite
the suggestion, at least I hope you have set
SHELL = /bin/sh
above that so you don't bother to load your interactive shell's
environment with each shell call, and to make sure quoting doesn't
become problematic in shell calls.
