#889 make 4.3 changes double quote to backslash

[Carlos]

It seems to happen when there aren't blanks earlier in the line.

$ make --version

$ cat tm
all:
        echo 'space before: "xx"'
        echo 'nospacebefore:"xx"'
        echo '"xx"'

$ make -f tm
echo 'space before: "xx"'
space before: "xx"
echo 'nospacebefore:"xx"'
nospacebefore:\xx"
echo '"xx"'
\xx"

Same version of make works correctly on GNU/Linux (Debian sid).

Thanks.
