--- Comment #3 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Many UNIX scripts don't work correctly with pathnames containing spaces.
That's why the POSIX standard recommends portable applications to limit the
characters in file names to the Portable Filename Character Set which consists
of alphanumeric characters plus the period, hyphen, and underscore. To avoid
problems, configure in a directory that doesn't contain spaces. Closing as
Won't Fix.
