Unfortunately I need spaces on GNU systems and possibly elsewhere. I'm sure there is a way to do this and it's simply a matter of coalescing parts of the argument vector. From what I can see configure has the correct arguments, but some were accidentally split. Remember that the arguments are already correctly escaped and if I run what was logged in config.log, it runs fine with the spaces.
The problem is that configure is a huge shell script and any arguments passed to subordinate utilities need to be escaped properly to avoid accidental splitting. There is also the problem that 'make' automatically splits on white space and there is no portable way to make it not do that.
