Of course emacs did not "detect" your non-standard makefile.

It is your responsibility to let editors know that, be adding that magical first line to your make.

Not sure who you're responding to. I don't blame anything here, just illustrate what might cause confusion of tabs and spaces in Makefiles, namely unexpected filename suffixes. Holds true for other editors besides Emacs obviously.
