Installation fails if any parent dir contains space

**Environment Information**
- OS [e.g. Mac, Arch, Windows 10]: MacOS Sonoma 14.1
- Node Version [e.g. 8.2.1]: 16.15.0
- NPM Version [e.g. 5.4.2]: 8.5.5
- C++ Toolchain [e.g. Visual Studio, llvm, g++]: not sure but probably the XCode one
- node-rdkafka version [e.g. 2.3.3]: 2.18.0

**Steps to Reproduce**

`mkdir "test-node-rdkafka-install issue" && cd "test-node-rdkafka-install issue" && npm init -y && npm install node-rdkafka`

**node-rdkafka Configuration Settings**

N/A

**Additional context**

Here's the line in the log that tells me it's the space that messes up the installation:
```
npm ERR! /bin/sh: issue/node_modules/node-rdkafka/build/Release/lib.host:/Users/lucian/1.Projects/test-node-rdkafka-install: No such file or directory
```

After I removed all spaces from parent dirs the install worked. Creating this issue to hopefully discover and fix the root cause, next best thing is to save others time on troubleshooting.

Start with binding.gyp and the node-gyp rebuild output, then inspect the mklove configure scripts named in the log, especially mklove/modules/configure.base. Reproduce the failure by running npm install in the reported directory containing spaces, and verify that installation completes successfully without the ambiguous redirect or missing-path errors.
