Thanks, I will fix.

I do not think so.

When a directory path contains a space,
it should be treated as-is, in general.

However, GNU Make is not good at handling spaces in files paths.

So, this will fail eventually (with a little more obscure way).

$ make O=build  M=fs/btrfs MO='/tmp/AA BB/btffs'
Makefile:214: *** failed to create output directory "/tmp/AA BB/btffs".  Stop.

Maybe, we should keep consistency.

But, this line will be removed in v2.
