[PATCH] compat-wireless: build: Throw error if space in path

From: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@codewreck.org>
Date: 2011-12-26 21:11:54
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

Because of make limitations, the build will fail if there are spaces in
the path leading to the compat-wireless directory.
I tried to make it work anyway for a while and, while it probably is
possible, it would involve rewriting part of kbuild and well...
This at least throws up nicely if there is a space in the path.
