Right.
I made a mistake in commit 5f2fb52fac15a

$(hostprogs) always contains a space due to this line:

hostprogs  += $(hostprogs-y) $(hostprogs-m)


This line will go away soon, though.

Only this one is correct.

obj-m           := $(addprefix $(obj)/,$(obj-m))

has always stripped away spaces.

The previous line has $(strip )
