Make and autotools are not able to handle whitespace reasonable. |

However, this does not mean that gentoo cannot: |

Build systems usually use relative paths to their build/source dirs |
| 11 |
(except for linking to libraries or installing which is both a |

different issue). And even if they do, it would be sufficient |

that PORTAGE_TMPDIR contains no whitespace. |

All other portage directories have nothing to do with upstream |
| 15 |
build systems. |
