            Bug ID: 92274
           Summary: 'make' fails when objdir and srcdir paths contain
                    spaces
           Product: gcc
           Version: 9.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: other
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: heiko at hexco dot de
  Target Milestone: ---

When compiling gcc 9.2.0 on Ubuntu 18.04, I have to use a base path that
contains spaces.

"configure --enable-checking=all,extra" has worked, but during make
bash complains about "No such file or directory".

'/media/heiko/TOSHIBA EXT/Heikos/debug_gcc/build' is the directory
i created next to the toplevel directory gcc-9.2.0.

Seems there is some quoting missing. The problem should be easily reproducable.

make gives

I suggest, you use a base directory with spaces as one of your test settings.

Thanks and best regards,
