Yep.  Cygwin's libtool, which is almost unchanged from the official 
1.5.10 -- does not support pathnames with spaces in them.  I would ask 
for patches, but things seem to be gearing up for the long-heralded 
libtool-2.0 release and it may (or may not?) have fixed problems of this 
sort.

Unfortunately, all I can recommend at this time is "don't do that." 
Maybe unpack and build in /tmp/curlpp instead of in your $HOME.
