For some strange reason, there are five hex 09 bytes in stunnel-4.26/src/Makefile.am. This broke my Cygwin build: I remove the Windows-only stuff from this file for Cygwin, and diff captured the 0x09 characters that got removed, but then when I later tried to apply the patch, patch choked on them.
It seems that each of these bytes should really be 0x0A. Strange.
Are you really sure you're talking exactly about 0x09 bytes? Those are tabs, aren't they? If they are (and my hexdump tools seem to believe that too), then I count four, not five of them, and all of those four are at the right places - just at the beginning of a rule after a target specification. That's how Makefiles are made, isn't it now? :)
If you're talking about something other than tabs, then please clarify, because I cannot find anything other than printable characters, tabs, and 0x0A newlines in src/Makefile.am.
