When build_dir contains spaces the build process fails.
The fix is to translate build_dir to a short path name.
In my opinion it would be better to escape/quote the relevant paths
properly. I think the short file names were introduced for backwards
compatibility, as a kludge. Besides, they are ugly to read. ;-)

If we use quotes, we'll have to refactor some of the scripts in the build
tree,
because there are many concatenations and currently they won't work
if we use quotes on build_dir. There's one more way. We can check build_dir
and use short path names only if there are spaces.

Thank you, applied in r16120.
While I agree that quoting paths is probably a nicer solution, this
patch is here now and deals with the problem at hand.
Thanks again - take care,
