The make utility has no support for paths with spaces.
Use of make is a great repellant against spaces in names.
If a make variable contains spaces, there is no way to quote it within
make. There is no way to express a prerequisite or target name with
spaces. GNU Make text processing constructs like $(foreach ...)
don't deal with spaces; there is no way for them to identify items
that contain spaces.
If the make utility has no provisions for coping with a subset of legal
filenames, that would seem to be a deficiency in make.
