That's right, 'make' doesn't support whitespace in file names, and
never will.  You can use various tricks to get around that, and
sometimes you will succeed, but if you want the problem be gone for
good, don't use file names with whitespace when 'make' is part of the
game.

Quoting the arguments passed to 'install-info' might help here.
