You have to use double quotes "" in directories with spaces. Thats not a makepkg bug. Its a bug in your build script.

Well, even with variables protected in the PKGBUILD, I get the error, try building pacgraph or gplanarity-svn from AUR, for example.

This looks like a bug indeed: can you correct the line in makepkg and tell us if it's enough to get it working ? There may be other problems.

Yes, that's the only line that needs correction.
Here's the patch file.
