Yes. Even better to avoid non-ASCII chars (like x0D)
in Makefile one can store them in separate pattern file
and use grep with -f switch. This should be truly
portable.

IMHO Warning in Makefile is virtually useless.
Who is ever cares about warnings inside several hundred
kilobytes log file? Only the person who watches
this very particular warning. But then this person
can check for unexpanded Tab and DOS-EOL manually
without running make. My intention was not to let
bad data go into final build or distribution tarball.
OK, maybe it was not a good idea.
