Try quoting it:
  SDCC = 'C:\My Work\Compiler\Bin\sdcc.exe'
or
  SDCC = "C:\My Work\Compiler\Bin\sdcc.exe"
or maybe you need to try
  '$(SDCC) -c Main.c'
or
  "$(SDCC) -c Main.c"

I have found that one form (single versus double quote) may
work with windows 95 or 98's command processor, but windows
2k's command processor may need another, especially if you're
using redirection. I've also seen people try things like
  SDCC = C:\My\ Work\Compiler\Bin\sdcc.exe
but all these methods are messy.

Everything is easier if you avoid using spaces in file names,
because spaces are usually used to separate tokens. In C you
would not write
  int My Variable = 2;
