Package: make

Severity: normal

I assume that make can not handle files with whitespace in the filename in many
situations, but this bug report only addresses one specific case. Here is a
minimal test case:
let's start with a makefile
%.out: %in
cat %< >%@
and create some test files
$ touch test_file.in test\ file.in
and do our tests
$ make test_file.out
cat test_file.in > test_file.out
$ make test\ file.out
make: *** No rule to make target `test file.out'. Stop.
This is slightly annoying when working third party files and complex makefiles.
