bug#25085: 25.1; flymake, Java: Space in file path causes CFGERR

[Luis Gerhorst]

The following does work with 'emacs -Q'.

1. Open a .java file in a directory that contains a space character.
2. Create a Makfile containing at least the following target (standard for flymake):

check-syntax:
	javac -Xlint $(CHK_SOURCES)

.PHONY: check-syntax

3. M-x flymake-mode in the .java-buffer and a GUI window with a error message pops up.

(This bug report unfortunately got no response at the time.)

I tried reproducing this in Emacs 26.1 and Emacs 28, and was unable to.

Are you still seeing this problem in more recent Emacs versions?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
