Maybe
LIBS => ["\\\"-L/tmp/a b c\\\" -ljvm"]
LIBS => ['-L/tmp/a\\ b\\ c -ljvm']
Though I'm not sure how windows is going to behave there. Also, if
EU::MM is trying to do some parsing on its own, that would cause
trouble because I think what you want is to get some escaped spaces
through to the shell through perl and then make. M::B sound good
yet? :-)

What version of EU::MM ? I don't find that anywhere in 6.30.
Maybe that explains the need for Inline::C::fix_make()
