</div></div>I agree we need to fix that. I've proposed a patch to bitbake which<br>
would allow detection and a better error message for something like this<br>
by enforcing quoting of variables. It is a major change in bitbake's<br>
behaviour though so I'm taking feedback on whether we should make the<br>
