Works for me if I remove the two close-parentheses and replace the white
space with underscores.  Open-parenthesis fine, close-parenthesis bad.
Weird.  Close-parenthesis is also bad with Debian sarge's make-3.80.
The non-ASCII characters seem to work fine.

I might need to reopen that bug; there definitely was a change in
behavior WRT filenames containing spaces between 3.80 and 3.81.  I need
to look at it to see what's going on.

I'd be interested to see the same test with "odd characters" but not
whitespace.  As far as I know, GNU make is UTF-8 compatible.  But I know
very little about it.
