Hmm? No. From configure.ac:

dnl Build Makefile.in's from Makefile.in.in's
dnl except ./Makefile from $srcdir/Makefile.in
dnl src/Makefile.in will have src/depend appended to it;
dnl module Makefiles will have the common text in
dnl modules/common/Makefile.common appended.

The Makefile that is used in src/ is constructed from it, on Unix. I’m not
certain exactly how it’s used on Windows, but I do know that it worked with
LF endings for years, before your change of January.

The needless complication was the switch to CRLF.
