Is this still the thread on which:
$ rm windows 7

Now I recall, the other thread on which I'm simultaneously discussing the problems which spaces in filenames cause is: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/avr-gcc-list/2014-07/msg00008.html There, the OP found that "make" failed to handle aberrant filenames (i.e. with spaces). The OP's final cure was to change the directory name to use '_' instead of spaces, and that was on windows 7. He had thought that he couldn't do that, so I suggested a symlink or a "mount --bind" to bury the one aberrantly named directory. It seems demonstrably better to avoid dangerous spaces, rather than try to paper over the issue with quoting or escaping, even though that is a sufficient workaround in simple cases.
