Details:

I get the following error while building.

...
  CC      
liboctave/wrappers/liboctave_wrappers_libwrappers_la-wait-wrappers.lo
  CCLD     liboctave/wrappers/libwrappers.la
  CXXLD    liboctave/liboctave.la
  CXXLD    libinterp/liboctinterp.la
/bin/sed: can't read Projekte/octave-4.2.0/liboctave/liboctave.la: No such
file or directory
libtool:   error: 'Projekte/octave-4.2.0/liboctave/liboctave.la' is not a
valid libtool archive

$pwd
/home/me/.repo/Andere Projekte/octave-4.2.0


The full path is divided somewhere because of the whitespace.
This is not the first project that failed to build on my machine because of
this. I'm starting to ask myself if there is any convention to not put source
directories under directories with spaces in the name.
If not, is this maybe an autoconf bug?
