I would patch the source code to change spaces to underscore for all references.
then call a post-extract to rename the files in the source tree.

this is probably the "hard way" to do it, but it works.

if you get a list of files that contain spaces, you can loop them and c
hange the files using something similar to the following:

==> Code <==
#!/bin/bash
oIFS=$IFS
IFS=\n
for file in filenamelist ;do
    f_file=$(echo $file | tr ' ' '_')
    perl -i -plne 's/$file/$f_file/' $(find $srcdir -type f -print)
    mv "$file" "$f_file"
done
IFS=$oIFS
==> Code <==

note this code may or may not work as is
the code is syntactically correct but will require you to fit it for your env
then extract a new clean copy of the source and create your patch.
