Another "real life" example is something like
~/download/master.debian.org/%7Ebcollins/glibc-test/
^ make doesn't like that either
I would indeed prefer to have those builds fixed. Can't be too many (maybe 0.5%
total, if at all. gawk is the only example so far).
I hope it is simple enough to fix them so they use relative paths (not sure
if quoting is feasible or possible at all).
Thanks,
Marcus
