The normal build seems to work, as does 'make install' (although the install
/path is /usr/local).

I would have thought it was just a matter of quoting file paths in all the
makefiles. Instead of

gzip -d -c $(srcdir)/postgres.tar.gz | ( cd $(DESTDIR)$(docdir)/html...

It should be

gzip -d -c "$(srcdir)/postgres.tar.gz" | ( cd "$(DESTDIR)$(docdir)/html"...

But it's not quite that simple. See below. To resolve my immediate
problem, I can just temporarily rename my hard drive. I'm just reporting
this as a problem that should be fixed.
