 My colleague is running Ubuntu Breezy with mcs version 1.1.10.0, and
 there our Makefile does not suffer from this problem. So it seems this
 must be a make, or a mcs problem.

+Please see the new changes to the GNU make to follow POSIX.  IIRC, one
+of the effects was that the initial TAB is discarded.  So, it's a
+'make' "problem", but one that can easily be worked around by adding a
+space before the \.
+
+From NEWS.Debian.gz of make (3.80+3.81.b3-1)
+
+  * WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
+
+    In order to comply with POSIX, the way in which GNU make processes
+
+    backslash-newline sequences in command strings has changed.  See the
+
+    GNU make manual section "Command Execution" for details.
