dtrace -G uses shell to execute gcc:

    call("gcc -fPIC -c " + fn + " -o " + filename, shell=True)

This makes directories with spaces problematic:

% mkdir a\ directory
% cd a\ directory
% touch test.d
% ../dtrace -G -s $PWD/test.d
gcc: directory/test.o: No such file or directory

Better way is to use python equivalent of execlp(3) or execvp(3).
