Comment (by deryni):

 The issue is that it isn't passed to libtool specifically that I can see,
 I believe libtool picks it up for itself. If you look inside the libaim.la
 file you should see a dependency_libs line with the full path to
 liboscar.la I believe it is that entry which is causing the problem
 (though without testing it I can't be certain). As such I don't think
 there is much we can do about it other than inserting our own test for the
 current path at most steps (which is over-complicated I think). Any
 character which needs to be escaped to be valid in a file or directory
 name will likely cause similar problems I imagine.
