Hi,

        I don't think whitespaces in file names is supported. 
 In general, a rule looks like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     TARGETS : PREREQUISITES
             RECIPE
   The TARGETS are file names, separated by spaces.  Wildcard characters
may be used (*note Using Wildcard Characters in File Names: Wildcards.)
and a name of the form 'A(M)' represents member M in archive file A
(*note Archive Members as Targets: Archive Members.).  Usually there is
only one target per rule, but occasionally there is a reason to have
more (*note Multiple Targets in a Rule: Multiple Targets.).
   The criterion for being out of date is specified in terms of the
PREREQUISITES, which consist of file names separated by spaces.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You may try this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
%.out: %.in
        cat "$<" > $@
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
make test\\\ file.out


        There is an ustream bug that has been unfixed for the last 12
 years: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?712
