Ian, while watching at tools/lib/*/Makefile I stumple across the
special single-quote handling (e.g. 'DESTDIR_SQ') several times.
Top-level Makefile and kbuild are not designed to work with file or
directory names containing spaces. Do you know whether this is needed
for the installation rules in tools/lib/? I'd like to remove support
for path names with spaces for a increasing simplicity and consistency.
Kind regards,
Nicolas
