It IS deliberate. If you want, you could improve the code to only emit '' around arguments that require it rather than all arguments, but that requires more shell code (it's easier to quote everywhere, even when it looks strange because the quotes weren't necessary). > ...and note in particular how the '--cc=ccache gcc' argument > is printed. Yes, that's a case where the quotes are necessary. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
