jq does not compile when the path to jq contains spaces

[kjellwinblad]

Describe the bug jq does not compile when the path to jq contains spaces.

To Reproduce

mkdir "dir with space"
cd "dir with space2
git clone [email protected]:stedolan/jq.git
cd jq
git submodule update --init # if building from git to get oniguruma
autoreconf -fi              # if building from git
./configure --with-oniguruma=builtin
make -j8
CC       src/main.o
CCLD     libjq.la
/usr/bin/sed: can't read space/jq/modules/oniguruma/src/.libs/libonig.la: No such file or directory
libtool:   error: 'space/jq/modules/oniguruma/src/.libs/libonig.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[2]: *** [Makefile:978: libjq.la] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/user/src/work/emqx/dir with space/jq'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1179: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/user/src/work/emqx/dir with space/jq'
make: *** [Makefile:810: all] Error 2

Expected behavior jq should compile without errors even if there are spaces in the path.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Arch Linux (2022-07-08)
• jq master branch (commit cff5336ec71b6fee396a95bb0e4bea365e0cd1e8)

Additional context Not being able to have spaces in the path can be especially problematic if jq is integrated in other software and their build process.
