Blah, I take it back -- it's not easy to fix at all. The improper
quoting is happening not in our makefile, but in libtool. We don't
control libtool, and it looks the problem is difficult/unlikely to be
fixed there (see http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-03/msg00799.html).

The easiest workaround is to define a symlink to your path location
(/tmp/foo -> /users/Shared/...), and then build in /tmp/foo. Sorry
there's no actual, good solution.
