Thanks for the explanation. This also explains why Apple developed a completely new build system for Xcode (xcodebuild). I've tried compiling a Hello World/Hello World.c in my usual (separate) build directory and everything worked.

BTW, first they moved to JAM, then they internalized JAM's code into Xcode so it's not invoked as a separate process. It's possible that JAM is able to handle spaces, though maybe Apple had to modify it for this.
