[bug #65276] SECONDEXPANSION doesn't work correctly with escaped spaces

[Paul D. Smith]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug#65276 (group make):

I will take a look at this, but up-front I will say that GNU Make, like all
POSIX make instances, does not intend to support pathnames containing spaces
as either targets or prerequisites.

It may be possible to get them to work in some limited situations with a lot
of effort, but it's not a goal of GNU Make to allow this to work.  We don't
have any tests of this behavior in our regression tests for example.

If it ends up being simple to make this work then we will try to do so, but if
it's not easy or straightforward then we will not try to do it.
