The questions I have are, did using special characters like this work before or is support for values with quotes inside just a new feature? Or is there some wrapper around the linux makefile that automatically uses values with quotes on them, making it effectively impossible for some class of people to run some versions of Linux? I don't expect this patch to cause problems for people, but it is a good practice to explain what scenario justifies backporting a patch to the stable series, if only because it keeps the volume of patches to search through when there is a new bug down.
