Summary 0001693: Align behavior of -s with existing practice
Description Line 104539 says:
> Do not write makefile command lines

Line 104755 says:
> An _execution line_ is built from the command line by removing any prefix characters.

Both GNU and BSD make write the _execution line_, not the _command line_, contradicting the specification. I didn't test other implementations but I guess the specification doesn't codify historical practice in this case.
Desired Action In line 104539, change:
Do not write makefile command lines

to:
Do not write makefile execution lines


Add a cross reference to the term 'execution line'.

Switching it to requiring the execution line may break some existing practice. I think it's more desirable to keep it as command line but explicitly allow for the trimming of prefix characters, and other leading white space.
