If calling from any Unix shell, and the parameter has spaces, then we
need to quote it.we can also use single quotes, these are more powerful.
They stop the shell from interpreting anything ($, !, \, *, ", etc,
except ').
can't we use this approach here??

Title:
configure script breaks when $source_path contains white spaces
Status in QEMU:
New
Bug description:
Hi,
I noticed that the configure script breaks when the qemu source
directory is in a path containing white spaces, in particular the list
of targets is not correctly generated when calling "./configure
--help".
Steps to reproduce the problem:
$ mkdir "dir with spaces"
$ cd dir\ with\ spaces/
$ git clone https://git.qemu.org/git/qemu.git
$ cd qemu/
$ ./configure --help | grep -A3 target-list
Actual result:
--target-list=LIST set target list (default: build everything)
Available targets: dir with *-softmmu dir with
*-linux-user
Expected result:
--target-list=LIST set target list (default: build everything)
Available targets: aarch64-softmmu alpha-softmmu
arm-softmmu cris-softmmu hppa-softmmu i386-softmmu
lm32-softmmu m68k-softmmu microblaze-softmmu
This happens because the $mak_wilds variable uses spaces to separate
different paths, maybe newlines may be used, which are less likely to be in
directory names.
BTW "shellcheck" may help finding some other problems.
Qemu version:
$ git describe
v3.1.0-1960-ga05838cb2a
Thanks,
Antonio
