           Summary: configure from path with spaces does not work
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.3
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: bootstrap
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: brantgurganus2001 at cherokeescouting dot org
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org

I downloaded the GCC 3.3 release full package to compile and install in Cygwin.
 I extracted the sources to my Windows desktop (d:\documents and settings\brant
gurganus\desktop\gcc-3.3).  I also created a output folder to build in.  I ran
configure in the output folder and I received errors like ...\desktop not found.
 I imagine this is because the configure script isn't or can't handle working in
spaced directory names.
