When building Emacs with recent versions of GNU Make every object file
built will result in a warning like so:

../src/verbose.mk:58: warning: invalid variable reference ' '
  CC       emacs-module.o

This doesn't prevent Emacs from building but makes it slightly harder
to see any build output. I attached a patch that should work for all
versions of GNU Make, both before and after the change. However it
also causes the indentation to disappear in-front of CC and ELC which
looks a bit strange. It doesn't seem like there is a valid way to do
this at the moment. More discussion about this change can be seen
here: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65273

Feel free to change my patch if you see a better way to solve these
warnings.

Also, I have never committed to Emacs. This change feels trivial but
results in 34 lines changed. Therefore I was unsure if this patch
could be Copyright-paperwork-exempt tagged. Feel free to email me off
list if I must fill them out. Thanks
