[Bug binutils/4356] New: windres fails on files with spaces

[sattler at mixed-mode dot de]

Hi,

Windres is very limited on common windows systems because it cannot handle 
pathes with spaces.
Hint: the default homedir contains spaces

This does not seem to be fixed in latest CVS because the error is most 
obviously in binutils/resrc.c (and similar) in function read_rc_file() and 
look_for_default():
sprintf (cmd, "%s %s %s", preprocessor, preprocargs, filename);

The filename argument MUST be surrounded by "", thus this line should read:
sprintf (cmd, "%s %s \"%s\"", preprocessor, preprocargs, filename);

Easy fix, I'd say. Reproducable on command line using DEFAULT_PREPROCESSOR.
