>Description:
Reading specs from /usr/local/gcc-2.95.2/lib/gcc-lib/alphaev5-dec-osf4.0e/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release):

1. simple source text - hello.c:
#include <stdio.h>

int call()
{
  printf("hello Alpha\n");
  return 0;
}

2. a sub directory with a spaced name: "./dir test"

3. compiler invocation:
gcc -c hello.c -o "./dir test/hello.o"

4. error result:
mips-tfile:./dir test/hello.o: No such file or directory


>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
work around: rename "dir test" to "dir_test" f.i. but doing so is not possible for complex development environments 
which control gcc automaticialy
