Sorry for the confusion, I stand corrected.  I assumed the presented
inconsistency, although in an incorrect usage, would translate into an
inconsistency with correct usage.  I tried directing windres to something like
"C:\path with spaces\gcc", but I wasn't able to break it regardless of temp
files.

On the other hand, I was able to break windres by having it itself be in a path
with spaces:

$ mklink /j "W:\mingw64 root" "C:\msys64\mingw64"
Junction created for W:\mingw64 root <<===>> C:\msys64\mingw64

$ set PATH=C:\windows\system32;W:\mingw64 root\bin

$ "W:\mingw64 root\bin\windres.exe" a.rc -o a.res --use-temp-file
W:\mingw64 root\bin\windres.exe: CreateProcess (null): No such file or
directory

$ "W:\mingw64 root\bin\windres.exe" a.rc -o a.res
'W:\mingw64' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
W:\mingw64 root\bin\windres.exe: preprocessing failed.

$ "W:\mingw64 root\bin\windres.exe" a.rc -o a.res "--preprocessor=W:\mingw64
root\bin\gcc" --preprocessor-arg=-E --preprocessor-arg=-xc
(works)

$ "W:\mingw64 root\bin\windres.exe" a.rc -o a.res "--preprocessor=W:\mingw64
root\bin\gcc" --preprocessor-arg=-E --preprocessor-arg=-xc --use-temp-file
(works)
