      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      If the environment variable "A" is set to a value containing spaces, building OpenJDK fails with the error "CompileJavaModules.gmk:594: *** empty variable name. Stop.".

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      1. export A="AAAA BBBB"
      2. ./configure
      3. make --warn-undefined-variables (also occurs when this is not set)

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      openjdk builds
      ACTUAL -
      CompileJavaModules.gmk:594: warning: undefined variable 'java.rmi_/sun/rmi/server/ActivationAAAA BBBBctivationSystemImpl_Stub.java'
      CompileJavaModules.gmk:594: *** empty variable name. Stop.

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      Unset the "A" variable.

      FREQUENCY : always
