In GNU make? Actually, yes:

    $ cat Makefile
    a\ file: ; echo 123 > '$@'
    $ make
    echo 123 > 'a file'
    $ cat a\ file
    123

AFAIK this does work but it’s a limited workaround. Make in general just does not support file names with spaces well.

That being said… In projects I just avoid filenames with spaces in general
