When I do

MAKE='make "AR=/path/to/archive lib"' make "AR=/path/to/archive lib" check

I get a whole bunch of failures when tests are running configure, the first
one being aclocal4.test:

...
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking for style of include used by make "AR=/path/to/archive lib"... none
checking dependency style of gcc... none
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating lib/Makefile
config.status: executing depfiles commands
+ make '"AR=/path/to/archive' 'lib"' check-not-foo
make: *** No rule to make target `lib"'.  Stop.
+ exit_status=2
...

I have also tried

MAKE='make AR="/path/to/archive lib"' make AR="/path/to/archive lib" check
MAKE="make 'AR=/path/to/archive lib'" make 'AR=/path/to/archive lib' check
MAKE="make AR='/path/to/archive lib'" make AR='/path/to/archive lib' check
and
MAKE='make "AR=/path/to/archive lib"' make check

but the aclocal4.test configure (et al) bomb out similarly.

So, I need help with feeding $AR with spaces to the test suite.

Cheers,
Peter
