are too big to build RTEMS. You need to change or rename that path to something

Windows Spaces In Paths
-----------------------
Occasionally, a program will fail on Windows with errors that
appear as if a directory or file name was partially parsed by
some utility or program. This can be caused by having directories
of file names with spaces. Programs written in scripting languages
sometimes fail to properly quote file names and the space is
incorrectly interpreted.
Parts of the PATH inherited from the native Windows environment often
include directory names with spaces. Sometimes it is necessary to set
the PATH explicitly to avoid these.
