[sr #110473] Building project fails when space or parenthesis is in the path

[Zack Weinberg]

Update of sr#110473 (group autoconf):

                  Status:                    None => Not Autoconf           
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

This needs to be addressed in Automake and/or Libtool; I don't believe any of
autoconf's code is directly involved.  Please re-file this bug report against
Automake, per the instructions here:
<https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Reporting-Bugs.html>
They will advise you whether it also needs to be brought up with the Libtool
project.

Be aware that the ultimate resolution is probably going to be 'we cannot
support this and we're going to make changes so that you get a prompt error
from the "checking whether build environment is sane" test if you try it'.
